What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and efficient Medical Insurance Processor with over a year of experience in processing medical insurance claims and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. My background includes a significant tenure as an Assistant Professor at a private dental college, where I honed my skills in effective communication and collaboration with healthcare professionals. My role at Star Health and Allied Insurance has equipped me with the ability to process and review insurance claims accurately, leveraging my in-depth knowledge of the medical field to enhance data processes and reporting.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to resolve claim issues and discrepancies by collaborating with healthcare providers and insurance adjusters. My proficiency in electronic health records (EHR) and understanding of ICD-10 coding have been instrumental in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of claims processing. Additionally, I maintain up-to-date knowledge of insurance policies and billing procedures, which allows me to efficiently manage cashless and reimbursement claims.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am also a published author and a member of the Indian Orthodontic Society. My passion for orthodontics and commitment to continuous learning drive my professional journey, and I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic team focused on improving healthcare outcomes.
