What I'm looking for

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

I am a detail-oriented and compassionate healthcare professional with over 10 years of experience in patient registration, insurance verification, and front-desk operations. My expertise lies in scheduling, data accuracy, and providing exceptional customer service in fast-paced medical environments. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively communicate with a diverse patient population.

In my current role as a Patient Scheduler at American Health Connection, I manage high-volume inbound calls and schedule appointments for multiple specialty clinics. My previous experience at Covenant Medical Center involved registering patients and ensuring the accuracy of electronic health records. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality and patient satisfaction while adhering to HIPAA compliance standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to educate patients, analyze public health data, and collaborate with medical staff to enhance patient care. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in health care management, furthering my knowledge and skills in this vital field.
