Experienced medical billing specialist focused on accurate claims and revenue recovery.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced medical billing specialist with a strong track record of accurate claims submission, insurance verification, and revenue reconciliation. Over several years in healthcare settings, I have developed expertise using EHRs and specialized billing software to ensure timely reimbursement.
In my current role I process and submit medical claims, verify patient demographics and insurance coverage, and review documentation and coding to identify discrepancies that impact reimbursement. I also assist patients with billing questions and help resolve coverage issues.
Previously, I held leadership and operational roles in business offices and retail management where I trained staff, acted as manager on duty, handled cash management, and revised operational standards to improve efficiency. These positions strengthened my customer service, training, and problem-solving skills.
I hold an A.A. in General Studies and am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Medical Office Management. I bring a detail-oriented, process-driven approach and a commitment to improving revenue cycle outcomes for employers.
