To Whom It May Concern:
I am contacting you regarding your employment opportunities. I have over 25 years’ experience in the field of Medical Administration and Billing. Most of my experience has been working in Ophthalmology; however, I have also worked in Internal Medicine, Dermatology, Pulmonary, Neurology, Endo and Gastro. I am more than familiar with coding and reimbursement challenges that all specialties face from insurers, especially with the introduction of the ACA and the new measures and reporting requirements being implemented by CMS.
I have managed offices with as many as 24 employees and as small as 4 employees. I have a keen sense of productivity and how it affects a practices’ bottom line. I am a strong believer in routine and educating staff on proper office procedure. I understand your staff is only as good as their manager.
I am presently making $75k with benefits, however, I would be open to discussion for the right position.
I hope to hear from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Michael Blake
