What I'm looking for
I am a compassionate, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant with over 17 years of experience supporting cardiology, pediatrics and high-volume clinical teams.
I specialize in patient coordination, insurance verification, prior authorizations and medical billing. I consistently ensure accurate CPT/ICD coding and timely reimbursement for complex procedures.
In roles at Memorial Hermann, Texas Children’s and Aetna, I led surgery coordination, resolved denied claims, and trained new staff. I maintained detailed documentation and improved claim resolution timelines using EMR systems such as EPIC, CARE4 and Allscripts.
