What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply billing and coding expertise to improve revenue cycle performance, reduce denials, ensure compliance, mentor staff, and contribute to an efficient, collaborative healthcare team.

I am a detail-oriented medical billing specialist with 6+ years of experience in healthcare billing, coding, and claims processing. I specialize in ICD-10 and CPT coding and leverage DrChrono EMR and QuickBooks to ensure accurate documentation, timely billing cycles, and regulatory compliance.

In recent roles I processed 150+ daily claims with a 98% first-pass acceptance rate, converted medical notes with 99.7% accuracy, reduced outstanding balances by 35%, and implemented a billing verification protocol that cut denials by 27%. I enjoy mentoring junior staff and improving workflows to maximize reimbursements and minimize administrative friction.
