Healthcare appeals and case management professional specializing in compliant grievances, prior authorization, and Notice of Action documentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare operations professional with 9+ years supporting grievances and appeals, claims review, benefit interpretation, prior authorization, member services, regulatory correspondence, and case management workflows across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health plans.
I investigate member concerns, review medical necessity and benefit coverage, and draft acknowledgment, determination, and Notice of Action correspondence to support compliant case resolution. In high-volume environments, I’ve managed denial and appeal processing of approximately 50–60 cases per day while maintaining documentation accuracy and turnaround time compliance, coordinating with clinical, claims, and internal teams to gather the right evidence.
I’m experienced working remotely and independently, using proprietary health plan platforms (including QNXT, Facets, GuidingCare, Jiva, and Macess) and case documentation systems (including member C360). I bring a strong commitment to confidentiality, audit-ready files, and regulatory-compliant member communication—plus ongoing continuing education in healthcare administration and compliance.
