What I'm looking for

I seek a pharmacy or prior-authorization role that leverages my insurance verification and high-volume call experience, emphasizes HIPAA-compliant patient care, and offers growth within collaborative, process-driven teams.

I am a registered pharmacy technician with over three years of pharmacy and prior-authorization experience and more than five years in customer service. I process commercial and Medicaid prior authorizations, verify insurance and patient demographics, document clinical and insurance details accurately, and escalate complex cases to ensure timely patient access to therapy.

I am proficient with Windows and macOS, pharmacy software, OCR/fax platforms, and call-center systems, and I follow HIPAA and NDA requirements rigorously. I am recognized for delivering efficient, accurate, patient-focused support in fast-paced environments and for clear communication with providers and members.
