Kristel Abejaron

I am a dedicated healthcare and medical billing professional with over a decade of experience in clinical operations, insurance coordination, and U.S. revenue cycle management. My career has been built around supporting healthcare providers, ensuring accurate billing processes, and helping patients navigate complex insurance systems with clarity and confidence.

Currently working as a Billing Officer for a California-based behavioral health practice, I manage claims submission, insurance verification, accounts receivable follow-ups, denial resolution, and payment posting. I am highly familiar with CPT and ICD-10 coding standards, HIPAA compliance requirements, and the full medical billing lifecycle. I take pride in maintaining accuracy, reducing claim rejections, and ensuring timely reimbursement for services rendered. My experience working with U.S. healthcare systems has strengthened my ability to work independently in remote environments while maintaining high productivity and attention to detail.

Before transitioning fully into U.S. medical billing, I held various leadership and coordination roles in hospitals, HMOs, and corporate healthcare settings. I have managed provider accreditations, handled corporate medical accounts, processed authorizations for consultations and procedures, and supervised teams handling member concerns. These roles enhanced my communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of both clinical and administrative healthcare operations.

As a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Philippine College of Health Sciences, I bring a clinical foundation that helps me understand medical documentation, treatment plans, and the importance of compliance and patient care standards. My nursing background allows me to bridge the gap between clinical services and administrative processes effectively.

I am known for being reliable, adaptable, and highly organized. I perform well under pressure, meet deadlines consistently, and maintain professionalism in all communications with providers, insurance companies, and patients. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with industry regulations and best practices.

My goal is to continue growing in the field of healthcare revenue cycle management, contribute to organizational efficiency, and support healthcare teams in delivering quality patient care through accurate and compliant billing operations.
