I started with Loma Linda Plastic Surgery as a medical assistant/receptionist. Reviewing doctors schedules day before to get ready for any charges or minor procedures we need to get ready for. Going over patient messages making appointments. Cleaning, stocking and sterilizing exam rooms. Taking vitals and getting patient ready for provider. Sterilizing instruments for minor and major office and operating room procedures.

In 2024 I started scrubbing in to help in general surgery operating room. I have to keep a sterile environment to insure are patient are safe during surgery. Assist surgeons during surgeries by draping patient with sterile field opening and handing instruments during surgery. Sterilizing room once the patient is out of the operating room, cleaning and autoclaving instruments/trays for next procedures.

• I started here as a Medical assistant in 2004, then was promoted to clinic supervisor 4 years later in 2008. Fortunately in 2012 the opportunity to become a medical biller for multiple clinics within our company was presented to me and I accepted, and quickly became the head clinic biller in my department. During those 15 years of working with Medical Personnel Management Corp, I was responsible for:
• Overseeing and making sure the clinic runs without problems
• Medical billing for multiple clinics
• Review electronic medical record charts and prepare billing on our practice management software “NextGen”
• Review CPT, ICD-10 codes and Authorizations
• Submitting P4P’s and Family Practice

• I rotated weekly between clinics and medical record rooms
• I was responsible for bringing patients back, taking vital signs, and filing patient records
