What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) healthcare billing and data-entry specialist with hands-on experience using EHR systems, Salesforce, and productivity tools to maintain accurate patient and eligibility records.
I have completed formal training in medical insurance application & billing, ICD-10-CM coding, medical terminology, accounts receivable, and HIPAA guidelines, and I hold additional certificates relevant to medical office operations.
In recent roles I worked as a Billing Specialist/Data Entry for Medix (Telecare) and as an Eligibility Specialist/Data Entry for Volt (Covered California), where I generated FIN numbers, managed member cases via Salesforce, trained new employees, and resolved billing and eligibility discrepancies.
Earlier experience includes quality control and assembly roles in manufacturing and customer-facing positions in retail and food service, showcasing reliability, attention to detail, and strong interpersonal skills. I volunteer locally teaching self-defense and supporting community health events.
