Micael I Elarcosa

I am a Medical Virtual Assistant with over 4 years of experience specializing in medical billing, accounts receivable follow-up, and insurance verification. I have a strong background in reviewing claims, resolving denials, managing prior authorizations, and ensuring timely reimbursements, all while maintaining accuracy, compliance, and HIPAA standards. My experience spans working with US-based healthcare providers, where I have gained deep insight into EPIC and Athena systems, insurance processes, and patient coordination.

As a detail-oriented and proactive professional, I thrive on solving insurance and billing challenges efficiently. I have successfully managed denied claims, following up with insurance companies and healthcare teams to secure payments and reduce outstanding balances. I am skilled in verifying insurance eligibility, obtaining prior authorizations, and coordinating with patients and providers, ensuring a smooth revenue cycle and improved patient experience.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to process improvements by documenting workflows for e-verified, e-rejected, and data mismatch cases, which are now used as training guides for new team members. My ability to handle multiple tasks with precision, communicate clearly with both patients and insurance representatives, and maintain strict confidentiality has earned recognition from supervisors and clients alike.

I am also committed to staying current with healthcare regulations, billing updates, and system enhancements to provide accurate, compliant, and timely support. My work ethic combines reliability, efficiency, and a results-driven mindset, making me a valuable asset for any healthcare team looking to improve their revenue cycle management.

In addition to technical skills, I am a strong communicator, able to explain complex billing or insurance information to patients in a clear and friendly manner. I am adaptable, quick to learn new systems, and thrive in remote work environments where accountability and attention to detail are critical.

I am now looking to collaborate with US-based healthcare providers or clinics as a Medical VA, Billing & AR Specialist, or Insurance Verification Expert, helping them streamline operations, maximize reimbursements, and provide excellent patient support. My goal is to deliver high-quality results while being a reliable and proactive member of your team.
