Patient Accounts professional specializing in compliant billing, denials analysis, and resolution to improve A/R.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Patient Account Coordinator focused on accurate, compliant billing and strong revenue integrity. I complete claims and billing documentation according to governmental regulations, agency policies, and department guidelines while reviewing denial trends, root cause, and A/R impact.
I resolve account issues by investigating insurance credit balances, processing electronic remittances and bank deposits, and coordinating with specialty payers and other facilities to ensure compliance and payment. I also transfer charges between patient and facility accounts as required, escalate problem accounts, and lead the appeal process.
Earlier in my career, I provided front-office patient services, handled incoming calls, updated insurance/demographics and statement systems, and supported care coordination by completing referrals, obtaining authorizations, and reviewing benefits with patients. I bring years of patient-facing experience, clerical accuracy, and a customer-first approach—fluent in Spanish—along with tools like Excel, Microsoft Office, and electronic medical records systems.
