What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-centered role in a collaborative healthcare practice where I can lead teams, improve authorization and verification processes, and drive accurate, compliant billing.

I am an experienced administrative and patient services professional with a strong background in insurance verification, authorizations, and medical billing. I have led patient service teams to improve inquiry resolution, streamlined appointment scheduling, and reduced claim denials through process improvements.

My career includes roles as Patient Service Specialist Team Lead, Administrative Assistant, Authorization Specialist, and Insurance Verification Specialist, where I implemented staffing adjustments, coordinated with clinical teams, and introduced feedback loops that improved patient experience and operational efficiency.

I bring disciplined documentation, bilingual communication, EMR/Epic familiarity, and a commitment to compliance and patient-centered service, and I enjoy mentoring new team members and driving measurable improvements in workflow and claims accuracy.
