What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can apply clinical expertise, medical coding, utilization review, and documentation improvement to support accurate, compliant healthcare decisions and reimbursement.

I'm currently reviewing complex medical insurance claims at GlobeMed in Lebanon, evaluating clinical charts, medical necessity, coverage guidelines, and documentation quality to support accurate reimbursement and health-plan compliance.

During my OB/GYN residency at University of Balamand Affiliated Hospitals, I authored and audited operative reports, labor and delivery summaries, and inpatient records across several major hospitals. As Chief Resident, I supervised junior residents and taught medical students through clerkships and simulation-based training.

I'm a Certified Professional Coder with an MD and a background in Nutritional Sciences, combining clinical judgment with ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II, utilization review, and physician query management.

I've also presented research at ISUOG, EAACI, WAO, and the Lebanese Association for the Advancement of Science, including work on placental vascularization and dietitians' knowledge of food allergy.
