Experienced healthcare manager in billing and coding.
What I'm looking for
With a strong foundation in health information management and medical coding, I have dedicated my career to ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of healthcare billing processes. My journey began with a Medical Coding Certificate from Northwestern College, where I graduated with a perfect GPA. Since then, I have earned multiple certifications/degrees, including CCS-P, RHIT, and RHIA, which have equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in the healthcare industry.
In my most recent role as Practice and Billing Manager at Elemental Center, I honed my abilities in managing billing departments, correcting claims, and providing exceptional customer service. I have a proven track record of handling complex billing inquiries, ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations, and training staff on the latest coding practices. My bilingual skills in English and Arabic further enhance my ability to communicate effectively with diverse patient populations.
I am passionate about improving healthcare processes and patient experiences, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a management remote position where I can contribute to organizational success while continuing to grow professionally.
