Healthcare RCM, Professional Billing

Summary

With over 24 years of comprehensive experience in the medical industry, I have a proven record of excellence in healthcare administration. Expertise encompasses all aspects of patient care, from initial registration and scheduling to insurance verification and prior authorizations. I have honed skills in managing medical claims to ensure compliance with contract terms and efficiently resolving rejected claims.

I possess a deep understanding of Protected Health Information (PHI) and HIPAA regulations, including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. Skill set includes resolving billing discrepancies, effectively communicating with stakeholders, and appealing denials with supporting documentation. I diligently follow up on appeals until are paid per contract terms.

Additionally, with 9 years of remote work experience, I consistently achieve high productivity and precision in my work.
