Self-Employed Medical Billing Assistant (2024 – Present) Since 2024, I have been working as a self-employed Medical Billing Assistant, providing reliable and detail-oriented medical billing support to healthcare providers, medical practices, and billing companies.

I also work on rejected and denied claims by identifying the root cause, applying the correct modifiers when necessary, and resubmitting claims to maximize reimbursement. I am familiar with major insurance payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and other commercial insurance plans. I understand payer guidelines and work carefully to ensure claims are compliant and submitted correctly the first time. Accuracy, confidentiality, and timely communication are the core values of my work.
