Experience
SENIOR BILLER – CVS HEALTH – 09/2016 THRU CURRENT
• My main priority is to code out visits for various Medicaid plans that the states has to offer low income families. I bill out drugs and supplies by making sure I abide by the payer’s rules for billing and coding. We do not bill out visits, we only bill out supplies and drugs. We do get most of our monies from the drugs themselves and not the supplies. I also am responsible for going thru several reports per day to make sure everything for the payer’s that I specifically deal with are up-to-date and do not get rejected for timely filing. I also make sure to answer any and all emails promptly. My supervisor also gives me several projects for me to work on because I like to help my supervisor out whenever needed.
Biller – CBI – 07/2016-09/2016
• This job was just a temporary job until I got the job at CVS HEALTH. This job had only a few responsibilities… one was making sure to check out claims to see if they needed to be scrubbed. More often than not, these claims rejected for missing/invalid diagnosis code – mainly because they didn’t abide by ICD10 standards that came into effect in October 2015.
CERTIFIED MEDICAL BILLER AND CODER (CPC) | GOOD HEALTH FINANCIAL | 2/2014 THRU 06/2016
· My main priority is to code the visits the doctor’s have signed off. I have one year of coding home health. I am in charge of training billers and coders how our EMR system works which is called EMD’s. I have come a long ways when training new folks as I have never done this in the past. I take pride in what I do for a living. I just feel it’s time for a change in scenery.
CERTIFIED MEDICAL BILLER AND CODER (CPC) | SCOTTSDALE FAMILY HEALTH | 2/2012 THRU 2/2014
