What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a patient-centered medical/clinic front-desk role where I can use EMR systems, insurance verification, and HIPAA-compliant documentation to keep appointments running smoothly in a fast-paced environment.

I’m a detail-oriented medical receptionist with 6 years of experience across medical offices, private practices, and clinics. I own the full front-desk flow—patient check-in/out, insurance verification, co-pay collection, scheduling appointments, and coordinating referrals, prescriptions, and medical record requests—while keeping everything organized, accurate, and HIPAA-compliant.

I’m especially strong in medical terminology, ICD-10, and EMR systems (including Epic, eClinicalWorks, and eClinicalWorks experience), with a track record of handling multi-line phones, live chat, and high-volume documentation. From long-term care as a certified nursing assistant—where I monitored vitals, documented patient status, prepared rooms, assisted with ADLs, and supported resident needs—I bring a patient-first mindset, reliability, and calm professionalism to every interaction.
