Dental Virtual Assistant

In my role as a Healthcare Advisor at Optum Global Solution, I gained extensive experience in medical insurance verification. I was responsible for verifying members’ medical benefits, eligibility, and claims, as well as handling prior authorizations and prescription refills. I regularly communicated with providers to answer their questions about patients’ coverage, referrals, and claim status, ensuring that they had the accurate information needed to deliver care smoothly. This role strengthened my ability to work with both patients and providers, resolve complex insurance inquiries, and explain benefits in a clear and supportive way. It also helped me develop strong attention to detail and accuracy, since even small errors in verification could affect patient care or claims processing.
