Billing

I lived in Alameda, CA and moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1992. I am a proud single parent of two, I have a daughter who is working toward a Bachelor's degree and a son who has high goals and is serving the Army in Colorado. They have blessed me with 4 grand kids and I have one cat that has me well trained. I enjoy keeping busy, taking small trips and spending time with family. I love anything outdoors and I love football. After moving here from California, I decided to go to school to earn a degree. I found it exciting working in the Medical Billing dept, so I obtained my Certified Professional Coder Certificate (CPC) and earned an Associates degree. IHMS has given me the opportunity to be part of their team and I can honesty say they are a great team to work for. For that reason, I am looking forward to the future as this company grows.

I am a Medical Billing specialist with over 35 years billing experience.  I have experience with commercial insurance, AHCCCS and Medicare billing, denial follow up, writing successful appeals and many other assigned duties to insure the provider receives sufficient payment for services rendered.  I have worked for both St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and Banner Good Samaritan doing medical records, admitting, insurance verification and financial counseling.  Other employment has included several physician practices, insurance company and radiology companies such as InSight Radiology.  These experiences have allowed my billing expertise to grow.  I look forward to working with IHMS of AZ.  

I was originally born in Salt Lake City, Utah, but also spent several years living in southern California before settling in Arizona.  I have been married for 40 years and have three children.  We have three children and two grandchildren who reside here in Phoenix. I enjoy sewing, traveling and trying out new recipes.  My studies include two years and Dixie Jr. College and a year at Mesa Community College.  Also attended several seminars to learn additional billing policy information.
