What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my healthcare expertise while contributing to patient care and outcomes.

I am a dedicated healthcare professional with extensive experience in patient care management and utilization review. Currently, I serve as a Care Manager at Med Assist USA, where I monitor vital health data and engage with patients to ensure their well-being. My role involves identifying health trends and collaborating with healthcare providers to develop individualized care plans, ensuring that each patient receives the attention and support they need.

Previously, I worked as a Utilization Review Specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering, where I analyzed patient medical records and treatment plans to assess the necessity of proposed treatments. My ability to engage with multidisciplinary teams and communicate effectively with insurance companies has been crucial in ensuring that patients receive appropriate care while adhering to insurance guidelines. My commitment to maintaining patient confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA regulations has always been a top priority.

With a strong foundation in nursing and medical billing and coding, I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and providing high-quality care. I continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and contribute positively to the healthcare field.
