What I'm looking for

I am seeking a patient-focused healthcare role where I can manage prior authorizations, insurance verification, and scheduling while improving patient experience and operational workflows.

I am a proactive patient service and prior authorization specialist with hands-on experience across clinical and administrative healthcare settings. I consistently deliver exceptional patient care through clear communication, accurate scheduling, and adherence to HIPAA standards.

My background includes prior authorization coordination for weight-loss surgeries, insurance verification with major payers (Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Blue Cross Blue Shield, FEP), and resolving denials and appeals to secure coverage. I maintain organized records and tracking spreadsheets, support billing and claims follow-up, and optimize clinic workflows using Microsoft Calendar and Excel.

I collaborate well with multidisciplinary teams and external partners — physicians, case managers, attorneys, and payers — to ensure timely patient access to care and efficient office operations. I am passionate about improving patient experiences and streamlining processes to deliver quality service.
