What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles supporting U.S. providers/RCM firms, working EST/CST shifts, focused on reducing denials, improving TAT, and long-term collaboration.

I am a Senior Prior Authorization Specialist with over five years of progressive experience in U.S. healthcare revenue cycle management, focused on prior authorization, insurance verification, benefits investigation, and payer communications across multiple specialties. I have a proven track record managing high-volume authorization queues, meeting strict turnaround times, improving approval rates, and ensuring compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers.

I collaborate closely with providers, clinical teams, coders, and billing departments to prevent authorization-related denials and revenue leakage, and I bring strong hands-on experience with EMR/EHR systems, payer portals, and RCM platforms. I am available for remote roles on EST/CST shifts and seek long-term collaboration with U.S. providers and RCM companies to drive authorization accuracy and revenue protection.
