Erica Jaques
@ericajaques
Medical Biller delivering accurate claims, eligibility verification, and patient-centered support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a medical billing professional with 7+ years focused on submitting clean claims, verifying eligibility, and resolving denials through research and appeals. I combine strong customer service experience (10+ years) with medical office work—keeping documentation organized, maintaining patient charts, and supporting patients with insurance questions.
Across ophthalmology, ER, OBG/YN, cardiology, neurology, and other specialties, I’ve handled insurance verification, EOB determination, payment entry, and aging reports while working in multiple EMR systems and hospital portals. I’m confident working independently, maintaining HIPAA confidentiality, and stepping in as backup across office duties when needed.
