I improve healthcare reimbursement through accurate medical coding, claims management, and denial resolution.

At Optum Health, I managed daily coding and billing for a multi-specialty clinic, reviewed clinical documentation, and supported claim follow-up, appeals, payment posting, and medical billing calls.

Over 11 years in healthcare revenue cycle management, I've prepared clean claims for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers while using ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS coding to help reduce denials and improve reimbursement. I also work closely with providers to support accurate documentation and coding.

I'm a certified medical billing and coding specialist with experience in HIPAA compliance, insurance verification, authorization, accounts receivable follow-up, and EMR systems including Epic, Athenahealth, Cerner, and NextGen.
