About

Professional summary

I am a Senior AR Analyst with four years of experience in US Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management, specializing in accounts receivable, denial management, medical appeals, and out-of-network reimbursement negotiations.

I investigate complex claim denials for commercial and government payers, identify root causes, and prepare Level 1–3 clinical and administrative appeals. My work includes applying payer policies, LCD/NCD guidelines, CARC/RARC analysis, and timely filing requirements.

I have hands-on experience with clearinghouse and healthcare platforms including Availity, Waystar, Change Healthcare, and Epic Release of Information. I use these systems to manage claim workflows, submit medical records, and resolve authorization and medical-necessity denials.

I am experienced in aging analysis, cash posting, credit balance resolution, unapplied cash reconciliation, and reducing aged AR. I have contributed to substantial revenue recovery and improved claim acceptance and appeal approval rates.

I also specialize in No Surprises Act open negotiations, Qualifying Payment Amount benchmarking, and Independent Dispute Resolution filings. I am committed to HIPAA compliance, maximizing reimbursement, and continuously developing my healthcare revenue cycle knowledge.
