What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and offers opportunities for process improvement.

I am a highly skilled professional with over five years of experience in the healthcare finance field, specializing in billing and compliance. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of auditing and reconciling complex financial information, ensuring accuracy and adherence to compliance requirements. I take pride in my detail-oriented approach, which has allowed me to optimize processes and resolve discrepancies efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have held key positions such as Billing Specialist at Host Healthcare and Medical Billing Specialist at The Georgia Institute for Plastic Surgery. In these roles, I successfully managed payroll processing, medical claim auditing, and patient inquiries, all while maintaining strict adherence to HIPAA regulations. My commitment to improving claim resolution rates and enhancing payment collections has significantly contributed to the financial health of the organizations I have worked with.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging environment that values compliance and process improvement. I am passionate about utilizing my expertise to contribute to a team dedicated to excellence in healthcare finance.
