@zeldaeckols
I’m a senior medical billing and revenue cycle specialist who resolves complex claims fast.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly skilled and adaptable medical billing and revenue cycle professional with 20 years of extensive experience specializing in complex claim fallouts, insurance follow-up, and claims resolution. I optimize revenue cycles, navigate diverse EMR systems, and manage essential administrative functions with a focus on maximizing revenue recovery.
In my most recent role as an Insurance Follow-Up Specialist at Getixhealth, I managed specialized insurance follow-up and successfully resolved complex claims fallouts using healthcare software platforms to track, appeal, and resolve outstanding claims efficiently. Previously, I handled bookkeeping, payroll processing, and client invoicing as a Sales Representative & Bookkeeper at Omni12; processed accurate medical billing and coding claims at GHPMA; and supported high-volume payment processing, AR/AP activities, delinquent account resolution, and end-of-month reconciliation at HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATION. I thrive in both corporate healthcare environments and remote work settings.
