## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking to bring my medical practice administration and billing experience to a remote healthcare support team, helping medical professionals maintain efficient operations, accurate billing records, timely claims follow-ups, and positive patient experiences.
```

## About

```text
For more than 15 years, I’ve supported the billing and daily operations of a private specialist medical practice. I manage patient and medical scheme enquiries, follow up on claims, and review remittance advice to investigate payment discrepancies.

I maintain Excel registers to track outstanding debt, claims follow-ups, and payment status. I also coordinate appointments, correspondence, and office activities, and train new employees on administrative procedures.

I’m seeking to bring this experience to a remote role supporting US-based medical practices. I aim to help healthcare teams maintain accurate billing records, timely claims follow-ups, efficient administration, and positive patient experiences.
