Summary
I have 30 years of experience in medical office settings. I have been with my current employer for 19 years. I am in charge of scheduling all surgeries for two OB/GYN physicians. I verify patient eligibility with insurance companies and obtain prior authorizations. I code all procedures and set up payment plans with our OB patients. I assist with scheduling patients and answering phones. Prior to this position I worked in the billing department. I posted payments, filed insurance and worked with the patients. I was transferred from billing to temporarily fill my current position. After downsizing the billing department, I had to stay in the OB department. I would like to be back in billing. I am a reliable and dependable employee who is always willing to go the extra step or to assist where I am needed. I work well with others or alone.
