What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values patient care and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with over 19 years of experience in data entry and scheduling within the healthcare sector. My extensive background has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of medical office practices, patient care, and insurance verification. I pride myself on my ability to manage physician calendars effectively, ensuring that appointments are scheduled and confirmed promptly, which ultimately contributes to the success of the healthcare facility.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including OR Scheduler and Physician Coordinator, where I was responsible for coordinating schedules across multiple facilities. My hands-on experience includes managing patient appointments, verifying insurance eligibility, and training new staff members. I am adept at handling technical issues and maintaining accurate patient records, which has been crucial in providing high-quality patient care.

As a bilingual professional fluent in both English and Spanish, I excel in communicating with diverse patient populations. I am now seeking a Medical Scheduling position where I can leverage my skills and experience to enhance patient care and streamline scheduling processes in a dynamic healthcare environment.
