As a Patient Access Specialist at UNC Health, I provide quality care and service to patients and their families by ensuring accurate and timely registration, scheduling, and insurance verification. I have a certificate in Medical/Clinical Assistant from Porter and Chester Institute, and I have more than seven years of experience in the health care field. Previously, I worked as a Behavioral Health Care Coordinator at LifeStance Health, where I facilitated patient intake, assessment, and referral processes, and as an Insurance Specialist at MedEl Hear Pears, where I verified and processed insurance claims and authorizations. I have strong skills in medical terminology, medical records, patient advocacy, and communication. I am passionate about helping people access the health care services they need and deserve, and I am committed to continuous learning and improvement.
