Medical Billing & Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Specialist with over 6 years of experience supporting US-based healthcare providers, clinics, and group practices. I specialize in optimizing billing workflows, reducing claim denials, and improving reimbursement timelines through accurate and compliant processes. My expertise covers the full revenue cycle, including medical billing and coding (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS), insurance verification (eligibility and benefits), clean claim submission, denial management with root cause analysis, accounts receivable follow-up (30/60/90+ days), and payment posting with reconciliation. I also provide patient billing support to ensure smooth financial communication. In addition to billing, I have strong experience in credentialing and provider enrollment, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers. I handle CAQH profile management, NPI (NPPES) setup, and ERA/EDI/EFT enrollments while ensuring compliance with payer requirements. I have worked extensively with leading EHR and billing systems such as Athenahealth, Kareo/Tebra, AdvancedMD, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Office Ally, and WebPT, along with clearinghouses like Availity, Waystar, and Change Healthcare. My niche focus includes mental and behavioral health billing, as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapy. I also have experience with chiropractic, DME, NEMT, and home health services. I am committed to accuracy, compliance, and consistent follow-up, helping providers achieve higher clean claim rates, reduced denials, and improved cash flow.
