What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Medical Billing / AR Specialist role where I can manage AR, handle claims denials and appeals, verify insurance eligibility, post payments, and drive faster reimbursement through organized claim follow-up.

I’m a Medical Billing Specialist with 1+ year of experience in Accounts Receivable (AR), claims management, denial resolution, payment posting, and insurance eligibility verification within emergency care billing workflows for US healthcare operations.

I’ve handled claims rejection and re-billing, tracked claim lifecycle from submission to payment using spreadsheet-based workflows, and filed appeals for underpaid/denied claims to support reimbursement cycles.

I’m proficient with CollaborateMD and EMR systems, HIPAA compliance, and payer policies—partnering with commercial payers and coordinating multiple insurance processes while producing AR and claims reports to keep revenue moving.
