What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level healthcare position where I can apply HIPPA compliance, insurance verification, and Medical Billing and Coding to deliver accurate, detail-driven results in a supportive, fast-paced environment.

I’m a detail-oriented, highly organized Medical Billing and Coding Specialist with certification in Medical Billing and Coding (March 27, 2024). I bring strong knowledge of HIPPA compliance and insurance verification, and I’m committed to maintaining accuracy in fast-paced, high-volume environments.

With over 10 years of management and customer service experience, I’ve handled “billing questions,” verified plan details, and issued or negotiated credits while tracking and updating accounts. I also combine customer-focused problem solving with troubleshooting expertise from technical support roles—covering device/network issues, order processing, porting/activation support, and ticket-based resolution—plus hands-on operational experience as an Assistant Manager with cash drawer audits and inventory cycle accounts.
