Dedicated healthcare professional with expertise in revenue cycle management.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative and detail-oriented professional with extensive experience in the healthcare industry, particularly in revenue cycle management. My journey began over two decades ago, and I have consistently demonstrated my ability to optimize billing processes, reduce outstanding accounts receivable, and enhance financial returns for healthcare providers. I thrive on challenges and take pride in my analytical skills, which allow me to manipulate large volumes of patient data effectively.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles at prestigious institutions, including Washington University and St. Louis University. My responsibilities have ranged from assisting therapists with insurance authorizations to leading teams in the billing and collections process. I have successfully implemented systems integrations and developed strategies that have significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced claim denials. My passion lies in ensuring that healthcare providers receive the financial support they need to deliver quality care.
As I look to advance my career, I am eager to bring my expertise in medical claims resolution and team motivation to a new role. I am committed to driving improvements in cash flow and operational efficiency, and I believe my proactive approach to identifying trends and implementing solutions will be an asset to any organization.
