Education Experience: During my time in the military, I was introduced to a wide variety of cultures and administrative duties. For 12 years, I have worked in specialized Behavioral Health Medical Billing and insurance verification.
Specialties: Ensuring that clients’ mental health insurance benefits are verified and up-to-date for continual care within the practice. Submitting billing claims to the appropriate client insurance companies and working on denials on the client’s behalf. Maintaining and updating patient data and developing payment plans and invoices for insured and self-pay clients. First point of contact for clients in setting up their initial counseling appointment.
What inspired you to work in this field? Through my own experience during adolescence, I realized how helpful it can be to receive assistance with processing feelings in a nonjudgmental space, hear another perspective, and explore healthy coping strategies. Having learned that every human is struggling with something, I wanted to play a role in supporting people in their journey towards contentment.
What do you do in your free time? Gardening, spending time on the river, enjoying family time.
