What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Lead Specialist with extensive experience in medical administration, particularly in Medicare and appeals processes. My career has been marked by a commitment to resolving complex issues for members and providers, ensuring compliance with CMS regulations, and maintaining high-quality standards in all my work.
Throughout my tenure at Molina Healthcare, I have successfully conducted research to address CTM complaints, submitted appeals for medical claim denials, and provided education to members and providers regarding grievance and prior authorization processes. My strong communication skills and ability to multitask have allowed me to thrive in fast-paced environments while delivering accurate and timely resolutions.
With a solid foundation in medical terminology, insurance verifications, and office management, I am passionate about improving patient care and streamlining administrative processes. I am eager to bring my expertise and proactive approach to a new role where I can contribute to a team focused on excellence in healthcare administration.
