What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a dedicated Medical Assistant and Prior Authorization Specialist with over a decade of experience in healthcare, I have developed strong clinical and administrative skills, particularly in rheumatology and urgent care. My bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish allows me to effectively communicate with diverse patient populations, ensuring that everyone receives compassionate and efficient care.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in obtaining prior authorizations for rheumatology treatments, maintaining a high approval turnaround rate by proactively identifying insurance requirements. My in-depth knowledge of medical coding and payer-specific guidelines has enabled me to streamline the approval process, ensuring timely submission of necessary documents and managing appeals when needed. I am committed to delivering exceptional patient care in fast-paced environments.

In addition to my experience in prior authorizations, I have worked as a Medical Assistant in various settings, where I performed patient triage, phlebotomy, and administrative tasks. My ability to handle front desk operations and assist with minor procedures has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set that I bring to every role I undertake.
