What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support a busy practice with HIPAA-compliant front-office workflows—insurance checks, scheduling, and prior auth—while bringing my psychiatric nursing training to every patient interaction.

I’m a HIPAA-certified Registered Nurse and Medical Virtual Assistant who supports busy practices with front-office workflows—patient calls, scheduling, insurance eligibility verification, and HIPAA-compliant records. In my Practicum with The MedVA Launchpad, I verified co-pays and deductibles with Office Ally, managed appointment confirmations and no-show follow-ups, and coordinated lab orders and remote patient monitoring workflows using OptiMantra.

I also bring clinical judgment from psychiatric nursing exposure, including behavioral documentation and therapeutic communication during my psychiatric rotation. I complete patient onboarding and intake/consent processing in Practice Better, document encounters in SOAP-note format in EHR systems, and manage prior authorizations and appeals through CoverMyMeds, Availity, and payer-specific portals—while handling multichannel communication through Spruce, fax, RingCentral, and EHR inbox messaging.
