Keywords

I am looking for a position where I can use my experience in the insurance and medical field.

I have long term experience supporting the claim department using Microsoft Word for creating

correspondence and report transcription. I have used Excel in creating reports for tracking claim numbers and

other reports requested by management.

I have experience in using and help in testing and customizing two different insurance data systems for 5

different lines of insurance. Also, in testing and using two different document scanning systems.

I am very familiar with reporting information to appropriate agencies regarding insurance claims such as

Medicare, Medicaid, National Practitioners Data Bank, Texas Dept. of Insurance and State Board of

Medical Examiners.

I have a vast amount of experience in customer service with heavy contact of attorneys, claimants, insureds,

and other insurance companies. In working for a physician's office and an Ambulatory Surgical Center, I have

experience in working with patients, physicians and insurance companies.

I am familiar with insurance and medical coding due to my experience in filing claims for payment working for

the physician and surgical center and also in working with Worker's Compensation claims.

I have always been recognized for my ability to multi-task and prioritize the work load. Having worked for

multiple staff at all times and being able to always meet multiple deadlines has always been a personal goal of

mine.
