What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a virtual healthcare role where I can handle EHR documentation, insurance eligibility, claims, and prior authorizations while coordinating telehealth visits and providing empathetic patient support that improves practice revenue.

I’m a PharmD graduate and Virtual Medical Assistant with 3+ years of experience supporting US healthcare workflows across both administrative and clinical tasks. I focus on accuracy, speed, and patient-centered communication, especially when handling high-volume needs like insurance eligibility and prior authorizations.

In my roles, I streamline revenue cycle management by verifying insurance, submitting and tracking claims, resolving billing inquiries, and managing medication and lab orders. I also coordinate virtual appointments, referrals, and follow-ups—serving as a primary point of contact for patient concerns to support care continuity.

I’m highly comfortable working in EHR-driven environments, having supported operations using eClinicalWorks, Simple Practice, and Athena (and other practice EHR platforms). With hospital internship training, including oncology pharmacy rotations, I bring a clinical mindset to every detail—whether it’s SOAP note assistance, ICD-10/CPT coding support, or maintaining confident, compliant documentation.
