Scheduled all surgical procedures; accurately completing all hospital booking forms that included patient demographics, procedural terminology and coding of these procedures, obtained prior authorizations with multiple insurance companies and was instrumental in the process of appealing those authorizations when they were denied. Worked closely with our billing service to resolve patient issues whenever required. Additionally, scheduled patients for upcoming appointments, maintained an accurate, detail oriented filing system, delivered reports, obtained reports and faxed all patient documentation to multiple area physicians, maintained supplies and the ordering thereof, collected co-pays and accurately detailed those payments for our billing service whenever required, personally contacted each patient for the next days schedule to confirm their appointment.

Clinical Secretary. Primary responsibilities within this position were to contact upcoming patients and interview them for demographic, insurance and a detailed medical history. The data entry of this information had to be extremely accurate, especially the medical history as this data was used to determine the safety of the patient to scan following specific protocol determined by Shieldaaas. Additionally, we scheduled patients, obtained operation reports from physicians when necessary, obtained co-pays when applicable, printed MRI reports, reviewed for accuracy and faxed to the appropriate physician. I also directly participated in and played an integral role in the start up process of our facilities MRI Breast Scanning, which involved developing protocol directly related to the safety and scheduling of each potential patient.
