@karnadesai
I optimize healthcare billing, claims resolution, and revenue cycle operations.
What I'm looking for
I'm a healthcare business analyst focused on claims processing, pre-authorization workflows, Medicare Part D billing, and revenue cycle operations. I use billing data and workflow analysis to reduce denials, improve efficiency, and support compliant patient-centered service.
At Medwiz Solutions, I oversee daily collections activity, analyze aging reports and KPIs, resolve escalated patient and payer issues, and collaborate with billing and reimbursement teams on denials and payment discrepancies. I also mentor collections specialists and recommend process improvements to reduce days sales outstanding.
Across Geriscript LTC Pharmacy, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and InfuCare Rx, I've resolved complex billing and Medicaid claim issues, processed remittances and rebilling, managed projects valued at $3.2M, and trained six new hires. I'm experienced with Medicare, Medicaid, HIPAA, payer communication, claim reconciliation, and healthcare billing systems.
