Detail-oriented Medical Billing Specialist improving claims, eligibility, and collections with 4+ years’ experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Medical Billing Specialist with over 4 years of experience in insurance verification, patient billing, claim submission, accounts receivable management, and financial communication. I’m known for accuracy and for explaining EOBs, claims, and denials clearly to patients and internal teams.
In my current full-remote role, I verify patient insurance coverage across primary care and behavioral health, document verification outcomes on a tracker, and flag patient charts with benefits received. I coordinate patient outreach through phone, email, and patient portal messaging to help patients understand financial responsibilities.
I resolve billing escalations and investigate insurance claim denials using phone and online portals, while also analyzing denial trends to identify root causes by payer, provider, or service type. I process copayments and deductibles according to insurance guidelines, and I send super bills and related receipts to patients.
Previously, I handled end-to-end billing and collections for HMO and private clients, preparing and submitting primary and secondary claims, verifying eligibility and pre-authorizations, and reducing claim rejections through coding and documentation audits. I’ve supported onboarding and training for new hires, and I maintain high standards of HIPAA compliance while working across billing, finance, and clinical teams.
