Starlett Brown
@starlettbrown
Experienced medical assistant delivering patient care, administrative support, and insurance authorizations.
What I'm looking for
I bring eleven plus years of experience providing quality support in medical offices, with a strong focus on customer service, organization, and calm performance in busy situations. I’m an honest, hardworking team player who enjoys learning new systems and improving how work gets done.
In my current and previous medical assistant roles, I’ve handled key back-office and front-office responsibilities: order labs and diagnostic imaging, maintain and set up patient rooms, take vital signs, and chaperone physicians when needed. I also manage clerical work such as word processing, answering phones, filing, check-in/check-out, and utilizing PC-based systems to enter and retrieve data.
I’m especially confident in patient support and care coordination—assisting patients with concerns and test results, managing incoming and outgoing referrals, and performing precertification and prior authorization for procedures and medications. I’m knowledgeable of ECW (E-Clinical Works) and have EHR management experience, with HIPAA-informed medical documentation and attention to detail in intake, insurance verification, and scheduling (including sleep studies).
Beyond medical settings, I’ve strengthened my people skills through childcare and teaching roles, ensuring safety, compliance, and nurturing environments. I also bring leadership experience from an assistant manager position, including interviewing and staffing decisions, and I hold BLS, First Aid, and AED certifications.
