If grantees are asked to provide updated documentation, I research e-mails and tracking systems to see if the documentation (such as workers compensation, disability coverage, and vendor profiles) has come in and upload it to computer drives as necessary. I perform the same process for initiative approvals, in addition to archiving expired or superseded documents. Recently, I have begun to post payment vouchers submitted by vendors into a voucher tracker and to research if the vouchers have been sent to the right parties, have problems which would prevent their processing, or are duplicates. Other duties include drafting award letter emails, maintaining mailing lists of interested vendors, and assisting with special filing projects and employee training. Show less

In order to properly code and document fair hearing records, I interviewed clients on the agency actions they were facing. In instances where promised benefits were not provided, I directed agencies to continue aid until the outcome of the hearing or comply with fair hearing decisions. When clients needed to update contact information or amend or add issues to existing hearings, I processed the requests as appropriate. I adjourned and withdrew hearings upon client request and provided clients means of submitting document-based evidence. Show less

Prior to contacting policy holders, I analyzed injuries and other accident details to determine if the claim needed to be escalated to a Claim Specialist. In addition, I periodically compared ongoing treatments with known injuries to determine if coverage can still be extended in a particular instance and issued payments as deemed medically necessary and accident-related up to $5,000 of authority. I submitted authority requests and coverage questions to supervisors, and also labeled and processed documents which were sent in and answered questions about billing and claim status. Show less

As the final person to view documents before they were released to the Marketplace, I played a crucial role in guaranteeing the timeliness of document submissions so that eligibility for health coverage could be determined according to the specifications laid out by the New York State Department of Health in its service-level agreements with MAXIMUS. My additional roles in this position included a certification to process documents in Spanish, which I held through the company from August 2016, distribution and training duties in the appeals evidence packets project, and mentorship of employees with task-processing questions. I continuously demonstrated and further developed my strengths in editing, communication, and knowledge of laws and regulations. In 2018, I won both the 2nd Quarter Award for production above 125% of goals and the Most Valuable Player Award for being among the most productive 5% of employees in the company. Show less
