KenyaWhat I'm looking for
Hi! I’m Janet — a highly experienced health records and admin professional with a strong background in medical billing, patient registration, insurance vetting, and EMR systems. I have supported NGOs, private hospitals (M.P. Shah and Avenue healthcare), and public healthcare facilities, working with both local and international insurers like Cigna, Allianz, and AXA.
I’m currently working at Avenue Hospital as a receptionist and billing specialist, and I’m seeking full-time or part-time remote work in medical coding, billing, virtual assistance, or health admin roles. I’m tech-savvy, reliable, and thrive in fast-paced, multi-tasking environments — whether in-person or virtual.
