I have worked in various companies using many different types of software
for their accounting and medical billings and files. I have worked with
government contracts (Hughes Aircraft-Military) in which I was required to
have a government clearance. This position also required accuracy,
promptness and confidentiality of any and all sensitive data. I was
required to Identify, Verify, and justify all materials, records and
documentation's. All rules, regulations and guidelines had to be applied at
all times. Had to have ability to communicate with the top brass of the
military and provide direct support to any officer at any time. I have
knowledge of medical billing and apply all of the rules and regulations
that the particular situation calls for. (Allstate Insurance Medical
Billing) I have had responsibilities to input medical coding for insurance
purposes from health care providers and did so with accuracy and
promptness. Had to have knowledge of varied terminology used by insurance
companies and other medical institutions. Knowledge of patient health care
eligibility was necessary to be able to pay claims; therefore verification
once again was necessary. Have knowledge of legal data entry with inverted
keyboard, inputting all legal documents from the county courthouse. This
required confidentiality and accuracy, along with promptness, as the
documents had a legal deadline for public verifications and reporting. Have
also dealt with problem solving involving accounting discrepancies and
customer dissatisfaction with successful results. Have managed offices with
success and have worked well with others in stressful situations and do my
best each and every time to conform to any deadlines involved. Been
involved in the collection side of billing and have been very successful in
collecting monies due for the corporation.
I am learning the Spanish language and have a conversational level of
understanding.
Am a dedicated employee, friendly, reliable and can always be counted on to
step up to the plate when needed. I love to tackle a chaotic office and
lower the panic and stress levels with good nature and humor.
I learn and retain knowledge well and am always ready and willing to face
new challenges.
