What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a patient-focused dental team where I can own insurance verification and claims workflows, communicate coverage clearly, and keep accounts accurate in a fast-paced environment with strong cross-team collaboration.

I’m a detail-oriented dental professional with extensive experience in dental insurance verification, claims management, EOB posting, and benefit breakdowns. I maintain accurate accounts and reduce insurance discrepancies while communicating coverage details clearly to patients and team members in fast-paced practices.

In my recent role as a Dental Assistant, I support patient intake and coordinated treatment documentation to strengthen billing and insurance workflows. Previously, as a Lead Patient Coordinator, I verified eligibility (deductibles, frequencies, limitations, annual maximums), handled pre-authorizations and benefit breakdowns, and coordinated schedules and financial information across front desk, clinical, and treatment teams.
