Summary

I'm a Medical Billing Specialist with 6 months of experience in healthcare. I'm great at managing billing processes, handling insurance claims, and making sure everything is coded accurately. I'm also skilled in using billing software and submitting claims electronically. I'm really detail-oriented and always make sure to follow HIPAA rules. I've got a track record of reducing overdue payments and increasing revenue. Plus, I'm a good communicator and work well in teams. I'm looking for a new opportunity where I can use my skills to make a difference and grow professionally.


I'm also a Certified Medical Coder known for being accurate and reliable. I take privacy seriously and always follow the rules. I'm good at solving problems and can handle multiple tasks at once. I'm eager to find a position where my strong work ethic and time management skills are valued. And just so you know, I'm legally authorized to work in the US with an L2S EAD and I don't need visa sponsorship.
