What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient advocacy and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented healthcare professional with extensive experience in prior authorization, insurance verification, medical billing, and patient advocacy. My proven ability to foster positive relationships with healthcare providers, patients, and insurance companies has been instrumental in ensuring regulatory compliance and efficient workflow management. I am proficient in EHR/EMR systems and remote operations, consistently delivering high-quality service in dynamic healthcare environments.

Throughout my career, I have worked with organizations like Cigna Healthcare and Cardinal Health, where I verified patient eligibility, processed prior authorizations, and collaborated with healthcare providers to obtain necessary clinical documentation. My efforts have enhanced workflow efficiency, reduced turnaround times, and improved patient satisfaction. I am dedicated to maintaining HIPAA compliance and ensuring patient confidentiality while navigating complex insurance landscapes.
