What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Prior Authorization & Insurance Verification Specialist with more than four years' experience across medical office, radiology, pulmonary, and remote healthcare settings. I focus on accurate insurance verification, timely prior authorization processing, and clear communication with providers and payers.
My hands-on experience includes submitting and tracking authorizations for commercial and government payers, performing quality reviews to ensure completeness, and identifying reimbursement trends to inform process improvements. I am proficient with EMR/EHR systems including EPIC, Athena, and Sorian, and comfortable in high-volume remote workflows.
In clinical and front-desk roles I have pre-registered patients, collected co-pays, scheduled appointments, and maintained accurate patient records while adhering to HIPAA and regulatory requirements. I bring strong organizational skills, analytical attention to detail, and a commitment to accuracy and compliance.
I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Respiratory Therapy and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, and I seek to contribute my authorization expertise to teams focused on efficient revenue cycle management and patient-centered operations.
