What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my healthcare expertise while fostering a supportive and growth-oriented work environment.

I'm Maria Grant, a dedicated professional with over 10 years of customer service experience and more than 3 years as a pharmacy technician in leading retail pharmacies. My journey in healthcare has been enriched by my role at Northwell Health, where I worked in Revenue Cycle Management, focusing on Medicaid and Medicare for both inpatient and outpatient care.

Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set that includes expertise in billing and coding, eligibility verification, and resolving denials. I pride myself on my strong interpersonal skills and my ability to adapt and learn quickly in fast-paced environments. My education in Medical Coding, Billing, and Reimbursement from Berkeley College has further equipped me with the knowledge necessary to excel in this field.
