As Head of Registration Department I:
Cross-trained in medical billing for dental practices billing medical insurance, including sleep apnea, TMJ, and oral surgery claims.
Hired to lead and build the Registration Department from the ground up, focusing on registering dentists as out-of-network providers with major medical insurance carriers.
Conducted extensive research on OON registration requirements for multiple insurers (Tricare West/East, BCBS plans, Humana, Cigna, Aetna, UHC, and others), documenting processes and ensuring accurate provider enrollment.
Created detailed SOPs that standardized the registration workflow, enabling future employees to understand and follow the medical OON registration process clearly.
Streamlined departmental operations and reduced backlogged tickets within three months, bringing the department fully up to date.

Utilized HubSpot, Excel, and Word to manage registrations, track provider progress, and maintain accurate documentation.
Collaborated closely with concierge and billing teams, becoming a trusted partner for problem-solving and interdepartmental support.
