United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an entry-level medical billing specialist with 4+ years of healthcare support experience, including medical scheduling, benefits coordination, billing support, and HIPAA-compliant documentation. I am completing an Undergraduate Certificate in Medical Billing & Coding and have hands-on experience applying ICD-10-CM, CPT, and foundational HCPCS coding while using EHR systems like Epic and Dentrix.
I have a consistent track record of accuracy and compliance across remote roles — improving escalation rates, resolving billing discrepancies quickly, and maintaining zero data privacy violations. I bring practical practicum experience in claim submission workflows, denial resolution support, charge posting foundations, and quality review to support revenue cycle management.
