Senior medical billing and healthcare operations specialist optimizing revenue cycles and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven medical billing and healthcare operations specialist with 6+ years optimizing revenue cycles, implementing EMR migrations, and improving reimbursement performance. I combine deep coding expertise (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) with advanced data analysis to reduce denials and increase cash flow.
At remote and hospital settings I led process improvements that reduced claim denials by 27%, achieved a 98% first-pass claim acceptance rate, decreased AR days from 45 to 29, and supported multi‑EMR implementations with near-perfect data accuracy. I routinely build automated Excel and Power BI reports, manage QuickBooks AR portfolios, and train cross-functional teams.
I prioritize HIPAA-compliant remote operations, strong patient-provider communication, and measurable outcomes. I am available immediately for remote contract or permanent roles and bring a track record of delivering efficiency, compliance, and high patient satisfaction.
