Appeal Specialist
As an Appeals Specialist my specific role was to review and process UnitedHealthcare denials of medical claims for organ transplants. Some of my duties included the review and analysis of denials, submitting reconsiderations via UHC portal, submitting supporting documents (Appeal letters, lab reports, and test requisition forms, UHC genetic testing guidelines, Allosure Packets, JMD Assay, and more) to payer for review, processing claims in remittance, documenting the process as it moves through the system using Telcor, verifying status of claims submitted to payer and providing reports for the posting team, providing all cases with the necessary documentation for final case determination.During my time in this position I developed a strong rapport with the client directly, which was CareDX, and was the only agent included in zoom meetings for progress reports and troubleshooting of issues in Telcor. I also facilitated the training of a group of new hires, created training materials to assist new hires, and managed the project for a brief stint while my manager was away on leave.
