To whom it concerns:
I am writing to express my interest in the working for your company. Please
accept my resume for your consideration. I am currently looking for a new
career opportunity due to the company I previously worked for, Praxair has
been sold to a bigger company, Apria and they have decided to not take the
billing center I worked in due to Apria already having a billing center in
Colorado. I am currently looking for an organization in which to apply my
enthusiasm for medical billing and collecting and I am available to start
immediately.
My past experience has mainly been in the healthcare industry as a Medical
Biller, Collection Specialist & Medical Receptionist. I have worked with
Payors from Medicaid and Medicare to Third-Party and Private Pay accounts
as well as various others payors. I am also very interested in learning new
aspects of other medical billing companies. I have worked for a DME company
for over 2 years, prior to that a Home Healthcare Agency for almost 3
years. I have also done some Human Resource work including payroll, time-
keeping, and various other functions of the Human Resource Department. I am
confident that my versatile contributions would be a valuable asset to your
organization.
What I'd bring to the position is a combination of quality billing and
collections, patient services, team leadership, and attention to detail. I
work diligently to provide excellence in all my professional endeavors and
have earned a reputation for my result-driven work ethic. In my previous
positions I worked to provide excellence in service for all patients and my
company. I would do the same for your organization.
My resume, which I have enclosed for your review, contains additional
details about my professional accomplishments. I look forward to the
opportunity to meet with you and discuss the qualifications I would bring
to your organization. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nicole L.Gardner
