What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Medicaid Analyst with over 8 years of experience in analyzing and interpreting Medicaid data for healthcare organizations. My expertise lies in conducting cost-benefit analyses, identifying trends, and making recommendations for program improvements. I am proficient in utilizing software such as Excel, SQL, and Tableau to generate insightful reports and presentations that drive decision-making.
Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement process improvements and cost-saving initiatives. At Flourish Behavioral Health, I analyzed Medicaid claims data to identify utilization trends and developed comprehensive reports to communicate findings to internal stakeholders. My commitment to accuracy is evident in my ability to complete approximately 175 cases per month with less than a five percent error rate, ensuring compliance with Medicaid regulations.
In addition to my analytical skills, I possess strong communication and interpersonal abilities, allowing me to effectively engage with stakeholders and external partners, including government agencies. I am currently pursuing an M.S. in Psychology to further enhance my understanding of human behavior and its impact on healthcare delivery.
