Lastacia Jones
@lastaciajones
Healthcare claims and patient access specialist with 5+ years improving eligibility, billing, and claim resolutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented healthcare and customer service professional with over 5 years of experience in patient access, medical billing, collections, and administrative support. I’m known for strong attention to detail, adaptability, and consistently meeting quality and production standards.
In my current Patient Access Representative role at Novant Health, I screen and verify patient eligibility, insurance coverage, and benefits before clinical services. I accurately enter patient demographics and billing information into multiple systems, support patients with claims-related questions, and maintain HIPAA and departmental quality while meeting productivity goals.
Previously, I supported billing and claim-related patient inquiries as a Specimen Collector / Medical Receptionist, including insurance verification and front-desk scheduling and intake using EMR systems. I also worked as a Loan Consultant, analyzing client records and entering/reviewing applications with accuracy and compliance—strengthening my analytical and problem-solving approach that I bring to claims work.
