Nicole Brown
@nicolebrown3
Revenue Cycle Analyst specializing in denials, prior authorization, and revenue cycle optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m an analytical, detail-oriented Revenue Cycle and Appeals professional with 10+ years of healthcare experience in claims processing, appeals, grievance resolution, insurance verification, prior authorization, and revenue cycle operations.
In my current role at Select Rehabilitation (December 2024–Present), I prepare and submit accurate professional and institutional insurance claims, follow up on unpaid claims, analyze denial trends, and submit appeals. I also verify coverage, obtain pre-authorizations, resolve billing discrepancies, manage accounts receivable, and support SLA-focused revenue cycle operations.
Previously at AmeriHealth Caritas (January 2023–April 2025), I investigated and resolved complex claims, appeals, and grievances while ensuring regulatory compliance. I analyzed denial trends, recommended process improvements, supported audits, collaborated cross-functionally, and achieved an average of 35% improvement on project speed execution. I work confidently across Epic, Jiva, Facets, NetHealth, Microsoft Office, and HIPAA & CMS compliance.
