Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to patient advocacy, ensuring that individuals understand their insurance benefits and financial responsibilities. My ability to manage high-volume calls and maintain meticulous records has been instrumental in expediting authorization processes and minimizing claim denials. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am passionate about improving patient experiences through efficient administrative support and collaboration with clinical teams.
