Healthcare customer service professional specializing in utilization management, prior authorizations, and accurate case resolution in high-volume calls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare customer service professional with utilization management experience supporting members and providers in high-volume call center environments. At ELEVANCE HEALTHCARE INC, I handled 50+ inbound calls daily, managed prior authorizations, claims, and case status, and reviewed authorization requests while ensuring compliance with healthcare policies and guidelines.
I verify member eligibility and coverage, document detailed case notes in real time, and escalate complex cases to clinical staff to coordinate fast, accurate resolution. Before that, I built strong customer support skills through caregiver/personal assistant work and customer service roles that required clear communication, reliable follow-through, and accurate recordkeeping.
