Ro Smith
@rosmith
Detail-oriented healthcare professional with expertise in medical billing.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and compassionate healthcare professional with over 7 years of experience in medical claims, billing resolution, provider coordination, and patient education. My journey has been marked by a commitment to accuracy and efficiency in the revenue cycle, where I have successfully navigated complex payer systems and resolved intricate issues.
At UnitedHealthcare, I excelled as a FEC Care Advisor, resolving an average of 50-70 complex member cases weekly and leading initiatives that reduced case turnaround time by 25%. My ability to collaborate with clinical and billing teams has significantly improved first-pass resolution rates, and I have been recognized as a go-to resource for my peers, providing training and support to enhance overall team performance.
As I seek new opportunities in medical billing, coding, or claims operations, I am eager to leverage my extensive knowledge of CPT, ICD-10 coding, and compliance to contribute to a dynamic team focused on driving revenue cycle success.
