Tabitha Prather
@tabithaprather
Medical front desk and billing-focused professional specializing in revenue cycle support and HIPAA-compliant claims.
What I'm looking for
I bring a well-rounded healthcare and customer service background, with a focus on providing timely, accurate data to support reimbursement for patient services. I communicate clearly with clients, internal staff, providers, and insurance payers to keep the billing process moving.
In my current role as a Medical Front Desk Specialist, I serve as the first point of contact, verify insurance, schedule appointments, collect demographics, and maintain HIPAA compliance. Previously, as a Dental Assistant, I managed patient records, scheduling, billing, and insurance claims while supporting patient comfort through every step of care.
I’m also strengthening my foundation through training in Medical Billing and Coding, including HIPAA-focused coursework and claims processing. I work confidently across insurance verification, claim processing, and revenue cycle tasks—building relationships, solving problems, and adapting quickly to change.
