Deondra Henry
@deondrahenry
Healthcare operations and medical billing professional skilled in patient access, insurance verification, and accurate coding.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare operations and medical billing professional with hands-on experience across patient service, referrals, charge/cash posting, and reimbursement workflows. I bring strong credentials and licenses, including an EKG Technician License and an Insurance Examiner Technician License, plus coding expertise with RHIT/RHIA and certifications including CPC, COC, COC-H, and CPB, using CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS for accurate billing.
Across multiple project-based roles, I’ve owned patient check-in and checkout, scheduling, insurance verification, and patient portal enrollment, while consistently maintaining compliance and data integrity through HIPAA-aware processes. I’ve also worked deeper in back-office and reimbursement functions—processing provider reimbursement activities (including denials, rejections, EOB/adjustments and verification), handling payor enrollment application workflows (using standards like CAQH, NPPES, and related submissions), and performing disbursement resolution and escrow-related reporting—supported by practical experience with systems such as Athena/ECW/Centricity-NEXTGEN/IDX, SharePoint, MedNet, MiCollab, and provider claim/fee scheduling tools.
