What I'm looking for
I am a Certified Billing Professional with a strong background in medical billing and coding. My journey in this field began with a certification in 2021, and since then, I have gained valuable experience working with various healthcare organizations. I am dedicated to utilizing my knowledge and skills to contribute effectively to my team while continuously learning and improving my proficiency.
Throughout my career, I have worked in roles such as Claim Analyst at Centene, where I honed my skills in claim processing and adjudication. My experience as a Billing Specialist at Peoples Healthcare Connection allowed me to excel in claim submission and reconciliation, particularly with AHCCCS and behavioral health claims. I have also worked as a Billing Clerk at Sunbelt Medical Management, focusing on insurance verification and eligibility, and as a Collections Specialist at Concentra, where I managed claim appeals and denials.
