What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused role in a collaborative healthcare team where I can apply billing/coding skills, advance my CPC certification, and contribute to accurate claims processing and telehealth operations.

I am a detail-oriented medical billing and coding professional with 10+ years supporting patient scheduling, records management, telehealth workflows, and customer service in both virtual and clinical settings. I bring hands-on experience with EHR/EMR systems, insurance verification, claims status inquiries, and HIPAA-compliant documentation.

I continually advance my technical and coding expertise—pursuing a CPC through AAPC and completing an undergraduate certificate in Medical Billing and Coding—and have supported providers and large telehealth platforms by navigating multiple systems, resolving billing discrepancies, and maintaining provider relationships to improve operational accuracy and patient outcomes.
