What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented healthcare and insurance professional with over 5 years of experience in patient care coordination, insurance services, and administrative support. My proven track record includes streamlining documentation processes, improving patient outcomes, and supporting quality improvement initiatives within both clinical and home settings. I am passionate about enhancing documentation accuracy and aligning quality care initiatives with risk revenue outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in medical record review, provider education, and compliance with CMS risk models. My role as a Member Risk Adjustment & Quality Coordinator at Centene Managed Health Service allowed me to increase the accurate HCC recapture rate by 22% and improve documentation completeness by 30% through targeted initiatives. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage technology and continuous learning to help healthcare teams achieve better accuracy in reporting and optimized member outcomes.
