PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have over 35 years of expertise as a medical billing service-provider, delivering dependable and timely services for all my customers, including patient-facing providers, internal business leaders, and patients. I specialize in collections and credentialing, working diligently and efficiently to maximize revenue. I am a dedicated and independent worker, and I hold myself to high quality standards of work. On a weekly basis, I analyze revenue and accounts receivable data to evaluate my work performance towards my goal to maintain all collections under 60 days from billing. I proactively reach out to insurance carriers to initiate and manage appeals and resolve Explanation of Benefits (EOB) denials. I collaborate closely with providers to clarify payable services, using my expert knowledge of current procedural terminology
(CPT) codes and insurance-carrier-specific local coverage determinations (LCDs) to ensure accurate and timely payment. I am also able to manage high volumes of work. For example, from 2013 through 2015, I personally handled billing for three practices: Arcadia HomeCare, CRNP, and a private practice run by a local podiatrist, Dr. Luther Bond. For the past 13 years, I have maintained this high level of productively while working as a remote employee.
