@gredonnaherndon
Seasoned healthcare professional with expertise in case management.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned healthcare professional with over eight years of experience in healthcare coordination, reimbursement management, coding analytics, and field auditing. My journey has equipped me with a proven expertise in patient advocacy, insurance navigation, and healthcare service coordination, honed through roles at LabCorp and TrialCard. I am currently seeking a Healthcare Case Manager position where I can leverage my skills to ensure high-quality patient care and support.
In my most recent role as a Field Auditor at United Healthcare, I analyzed medical records and clinical coding applications to evaluate accurate coding and reporting relevant data to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). I developed and maintained professional relationships with medical providers, facilitating on-site reviews and strengthening relationships with members to respond to inquiries about medical services and prescription drugs. My commitment to advancing HEDIS and Medicare Stars Programs has resulted in maintaining a quality score of 4.75.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong communication and organizational skills, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations while managing a high volume of inbound and outbound communications. I am passionate about supporting patients and healthcare professionals alike, providing education on therapy coverage options and facilitating the coordination of prescriptions to specialty pharmacies. I believe in the importance of empathy and professionalism in all interactions, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new role in healthcare case management.
