What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated professional with extensive experience in pharmacy operations and healthcare management. My career has been defined by a proven track record in managing insurance verifications and building strong relationships with healthcare providers.

Currently, I serve as a Pharmacy Prior Authorization Specialist at Onco 360, where I manage and process prior authorization requests for oncology and rare disease medications. My role involves coordinating with insurance companies and physicians to expedite approvals and resolve denials, ensuring timely treatment authorization for patients. I take pride in maintaining accurate patient profiles and ensuring full HIPAA compliance, which is crucial in our industry.
Previously, I worked as a Pharmacy Operations and Insurance Specialist at Scripts RX Pharmacy, where I delivered superior customer support and managed insurance verifications. I played a key role in streamlining operations and improving medication affordability through patient savings programs. My experience also includes managing pharmacy operations at Allied Pharmacy, where I significantly contributed to scaling the pharmacy’s revenue from $25,000 to $1.5 million in gross monthly profit within the first year of operation.
