Summary

Caring and friendly customer service professional with 20 years of experience in retail and door to door sales.

Talented floral designer accustomed to executing unique creations, including centerpieces, bouquets and arrangements.

Patient-focused chiropractic medical biller and receptionist with over 15 years experience that recently moved from Hawaii and worked for a family based chiropractic clinic. I am very knowledgeable and organized as I was the receptionist and sole medical biller for 9 providers such as the chiropractor, medical doctor, massage therapist and acupuncturist. My duties were very extensive.

I bill workers compensation, auto accident as well as private health insurance, track claims and deal with insurance companies. I post all insurance payments. I have become quite proficient at reading and deciphering EOB's. I help patients with their bills and insurance issues. I do all the coding and data entry for claims. I am familiar with some medical software programs used for billing.

I am very skilled in the clerical department and I am a great multitasker that is always willing to learn. I ran the entire front office with duties such as answering phones, scheduling appointments, preparing charts etc...
