Patient Advocate focused on Medicare navigation, appeals support, and HIPAA-compliant patient record management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Patient Advocate helping Medicare patients navigate the complexities of the U.S. healthcare system. I act on behalf of patients to prioritize their medical interests, health outcomes, and wallet, while delivering support through care coordination, system navigation, appeals and authorizations, and visit preparation.
Previously, I worked as a Patient Access Representative handling about 90 -120 inbound and outbound calls daily, answering billing and medical records questions, and scheduling appointments with empathy and efficiency. I used NexGen, Epic, and Athena Health to update patient records and verify insurance coverage, while maintaining confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA and facility policies. I also trained new staff, resolved patient concerns, and supported accurate documentation; earlier roles included Patient Registration Clerk and Caregiver.
