Tara Metcalf
@tarametcalf
Entry-level medical billing specialist skilled in claims, coding, and patient support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a medical billing professional with a certificate of achievement in Medical Billing and Coding (4.0 GPA). I’ve focused on accurate, guideline-driven billing work while keeping the patient experience at the center of my process.
In pediatrics, I worked as part of an in-house billing team handling manual payment posting and claim workflows—verifying patient information, processing and submitting claims, and reviewing documentation and coding to prevent issues that could impact reimbursement. I’ve also followed up on unpaid or denied claims and worked directly with insurance companies to resolve them.
I stay current with coding and regulations using systems like ICD-10 and CPT, and I’ve contributed to improving efficiency by implementing electronic claim submission processes. I’m motivated by helping people, and I bring the care, drive, and customer-oriented mindset needed to keep billing operations accurate and responsive.
