What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity where I can improve healthcare authorization, intake, training, and documentation workflows while helping patients, customers, and teams succeed.

I'm currently overseeing eligibility and authorization workflow for home health and hospice at Traditions Health/Vital Caring, supporting coordinators through verification, authorizations, appeals, escalations, and referral-to-service processes.

Across several roles at Traditions Health, I've built and delivered training for EMR and e-referral platforms, organized intake referrals, coordinated benefit requirements with branches, and helped teams keep patient start-of-care workflows moving.

At Verustat, I audited non-clinical documentation and calls for HIPAA compliance and accuracy, created an Operations Training Manual and auditing tools, and trained new hires on EMR, Five9, and CallShaper.

My 25 years in customer service and healthcare include DME account management, branch operations, insurance verification, patient intake, and care coordination. I enjoy helping patients, customers, and coworkers while bringing organization, accuracy, and efficiency to daily work.
