What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a healthcare customer care role where I can resolve patient billing and insurance issues in a high-volume environment, improve workflows, and deliver exceptional, HIPAA-compliant service.

I’m a Customer Care Representative with 7 years of healthcare experience, consistently supporting multiple organizations by handling high-volume patient inquiries. I manage patient account needs like insurance eligibility, benefits verification, and service authorizations, while resolving billing disputes with accuracy and empathy.

I document interactions in CRM systems, assist with claims and denials (including educating patients on appeals), and guide patients through payment plans and collections. I’m also hands-on with training new employees, collaborating with clinical teams, and streamlining workflows to reduce patient wait times—always with a strong commitment to HIPAA compliance and exceptional customer service.
