Trained and skilled Utilization Review Coordinator for 18 years. My job was to obtain all medical documentation for a claim and hand it off to a registered Nurse to assess for the determination. If the claims request was outside of guidelines, it would then be reviewed by a Physician Advisor for a decision.

While at Sedgwick CMS for 9 years, I was awarded for my work. Some of the awards were Coordinator of the month twice, Coordinator of the year twice, as well as winning different “contests.”

I supported the organizations quality programs by being a mentor/teacher to new incoming Coordinators, working in a team environment to meet deadlines, trouble shoot, and meet or exceed performance competencies. This was a very detailed customer and client oriented position.
