What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation in healthcare processes.

I am an Authorization Specialist with over 15 years of extensive expertise in claims processing and healthcare documentation. My strategic thinking enhances efficiency and data reliability, allowing me to drive improvements in claim approval times and workflow efficiency. I am committed to innovating processes and fostering interdepartmental collaboration to achieve superior patient and client outcomes.

In my current role at Florida Cancer Specialist, I ensure accurate medical records for pre-authorization, which enhances claim processing efficiency. I maintain detailed documentation on requests, denials, and appeals, improving data reliability. My efforts have led to noticeable improvements in claim approval times and overall workflow efficiency, demonstrating my ability to analyze and streamline processes effectively.

Previously, I worked at Riverchase Dermatology, where I performed billing and auditing of accounts to optimize reimbursement for patient treatment. My thorough audits enhanced reimbursement rates and minimized discrepancies in financial reporting. I have a strong background in patient care and medical billing, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new opportunity where I can continue to make a positive impact.
