What I'm looking for

I seek a healthcare appeals or grievance role where I can apply compliance expertise, streamline processes, and reduce turnaround times within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am an appeals and grievance specialist with over seven years' experience managing complex healthcare cases, resolving appeals, and ensuring regulatory compliance. I have consistently accelerated processing—surpassing CMS regular timeframes by 25% and reducing case resolution time by 20%—while averaging 113 appeals per week and cutting backlog by 15%.

I am proficient with electronic health records and claims systems including Availity, Epic Systems, CareRadius, eviCore, and FACETS, and I bring strong data analysis, communication, and training skills. I seek to leverage this experience to streamline appeal workflows, mentor teams, and deliver timely, accurate determinations in a collaborative healthcare setting.
