What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a customer support or client services role where I can manage high-volume inquiries, handle billing and claims accurately, and improve customer satisfaction using CRM and digital documentation systems.

I'm a healthcare administrative professional and Certified Medical Virtual Assistant with over 4 years of experience across hospital and insurance settings in Kenya. My career started at the National Health Insurance Fund, where I conducted quality assurance reviews on insurance claims, which gave me a strong foundation in compliance and documentation accuracy. From there, I moved into patient-facing coordination roles at Molo Sub-County Hospital and now Benmac Hospital, where I currently manage high-volume scheduling for multiple providers, verify patient and insurance information, and handle claims reconciliation and prior authorization follow-up.

Some of my proudest achievements include reducing missed appointments from over 20 a week to fewer than 3 through proactive reminders, and cutting prior authorization turnaround time from 7 days to just 1 day by tightening follow-up processes with insurers. I've also resolved billing-related patient concerns in ways that measurably improved patient satisfaction.

I hold certifications in Medical Virtual Assistance and HIPAA Compliance, and I'm currently completing a Medical Billing & Coding certification. I have hands-on experience with EMR systems including OpenEMR and Drchrono, and I pick up new platforms quickly.

Beyond the technical side, what genuinely interests me is the coordination work itself: making sure patients get seen on time, insurance processes don't become a burden, and healthcare teams have accurate information to work from. I'm looking for remote roles in medical virtual assistance, front office coordination, or claims support.
