@vaibhavnaik
Experienced Medical Claim Assessor with expertise in healthcare management.
What I'm looking for
With over three years of experience in health insurance claim assessment and quality assurance, I have honed my skills in evaluating claims, conducting audits, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My journey began with a Summer Internship at Future Generali India, where I developed a strong foundation in claims processing. I then advanced to the role of Assistant Manager at Manipal Cigna, where I successfully optimized processes and identified fraudulent billing patterns, saving the company significant resources.
Currently, I serve as the Manager for AB-PMJAY, where I lead hospital audits and coordinate with various stakeholders to enhance operational efficiency. My clinical background as a Resident Medical Officer has equipped me with a unique perspective on patient care and hospital operations, allowing me to streamline workflows and implement corrective actions effectively. I hold an MBA in Hospital & Healthcare Management and a BHMS degree, which further solidifies my expertise in this field.
