Detail-oriented office administrator with extensive healthcare experience.
What I'm looking for
As an experienced office administrator, I have dedicated my career to enhancing patient care and streamlining operations within healthcare settings. Currently, I work at Hanger Clinic, where I manage eligibility and benefits verification, ensuring that patients receive the durable medical equipment they need without unnecessary delays. My role involves meticulous attention to detail, from reviewing patient bills for accuracy to collaborating with insurance providers to resolve billing inconsistencies.
Previously, I served as a Patient Service Specialist and Office Manager at NovaCare Rehabilitation, where I coordinated daily operations, managed patient scheduling, and ensured compliance with healthcare regulations. My ability to translate for Spanish-speaking patients has also been invaluable in fostering a welcoming environment for all. I take pride in my organizational skills and my commitment to patient satisfaction, which I believe are essential in the healthcare industry.
