What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 13 years of experience in billing, coding, and collections, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that allows me to effectively manage accounts and provide exceptional customer service. My journey began at Baxter Clinic of Hernando, where I oversaw billing and accounts, ensuring timely processing of insurance claims and patient inquiries.

At West Clinic, I advanced to a supervisory role, managing a team of eight Account Representatives while continuing to handle complex billing issues. My role as a Billing/Collections/Coding Specialist at Desoto Family Medical Center further solidified my expertise, where I became the go-to person for insurance and coding questions, collaborating closely with medical professionals to ensure accuracy and efficiency in billing processes.
