What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented analyst with over 17 years in the health care insurance industry and seven years focused in IT, delivering measurable improvements in claims accuracy and system performance.
I specialize in claims processing, Medicaid and CMS-related workflows, and coding standards (CPT, ICD-9, ICD-10), using strong root-cause analysis to develop temporary workarounds and permanent system fixes.
I have authored business requirements, requirements traceability matrices and test plans, led user acceptance testing and validations, and coached teammates while performing senior analyst and systems analyst responsibilities across encounter, benefits and claims systems.
I communicate effectively with internal customers and provider stakeholders, support data conversions and reporting, and seek opportunities to drive operational improvements, quality assurance and mentor others.
