What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a strong foundation in claims operations and medical coding.

In my role as a Health Care Navigator at The Cigna Group, I guide members through intricate healthcare systems, providing personalized support and care coordination tailored to their individual needs. I collaborate with internal teams to remove barriers to care and expedite access to services, all while maintaining detailed records to ensure data integrity and compliance with HIPAA standards.
