What I'm looking for
I’m a compassionate Medical Assistant with 9+ years of experience in high-touch healthcare and clinical support roles. I provide human-centric inbound phone support, case documentation, and resource navigation for patients navigating complex medical and life transitions, including in 24/7 operational environments.
In my roles, I manage high-volume inquiries while maintaining SLA adherence, handle complex prior authorizations and short-term disability leave documentation, and conduct patient intake and rooming in electronic health records. I’m trusted to resolve immediate clinical concerns by monitoring vitals, escalating urgent issues to providers, and delivering sensitive support during high-stress transitions—always with HIPAA compliance and meticulous attention to detail.
