What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote Healthcare Operations, Prior Authorization, Customer Support, Claims Support, or Utilization Management role where I can support patients and resolve inquiries with HIPAA-compliant documentation, accurate case work, and efficient workflow management.

I’m a results-driven healthcare operations and customer support professional with 4 years of experience in prior authorization support, healthcare documentation review, behavioral health services, medical records, and high-volume patient communication. I review and process prior authorization documentation to ensure compliance with insurance coverage guidelines and medical necessity requirements, identify missing documentation and policy exclusions, and support step-therapy workflows. In fast-paced remote and clinical environments, I handle high-volume inbound patient interactions with professionalism, empathy, and accuracy while communicating authorization outcomes, coverage explanations, and next-step guidance.

I’m committed to maintaining 100% HIPAA-compliant documentation practices, protecting sensitive patient information, and keeping case records current through careful documentation updates and workflow tracking. I also bring experience with eligibility verification, case escalation support, and resolving healthcare-related inquiries, backed by strong attention to detail and the ability to navigate multiple healthcare systems. Whether supporting utilization management processes or maintaining high-quality EMR/EHR documentation, I focus on efficient resolution, precise data entry, and reliable patient and provider communication.
