Credentialing specialist with expertise in healthcare provider management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated credentialing specialist with extensive experience in managing the credentialing and re-credentialing processes for healthcare providers. Currently, I work at The ROADS Foundation, where I ensure timely completion of credentialing applications and collaborate with HR to onboard new medical staff. My attention to detail and organizational skills have been instrumental in maintaining compliance with various health plans and regulatory requirements.
Previously, I served as an Assistant Credentialing Manager at LA Laser Center, where I was responsible for overseeing all aspects of credentialing for medical providers. My role involved ensuring that all necessary documentation was accurate and up-to-date, as well as applying for business licenses and permits. I have a strong track record of meeting deadlines and effectively managing multiple tasks in fast-paced environments.
With a background in customer service and a commitment to maintaining confidentiality, I thrive in team-oriented settings and am passionate about supporting healthcare providers in delivering quality patient care. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to a dynamic healthcare organization.
