Statement of Fellowship and Career Objective

¶ … Fellowship and Career Objective

Throughout more than seven years of service to the healthcare industry, working in an administrative capacity as a liaison between insurance providers, patients and third-party payers, I have dedicated my professional life to the provision of medical services via the managed care industry. While working to maintain regular lines of communication with case managers, social workers, management staff, outside agencies and various hospital departments, the opportunity to immerse myself in the logistical operations of a major health care provider has proven to be invaluable. Performing fundamental duties that are integral to the successful delivery of health care services, from the identification of barriers to reimbursement via benefit investigations to determining patient eligibility for non-profit foundations, has provided me with a comprehensive base of knowledge and skills. Rather than rest on my proverbial laurels, however, I have committed myself to the task of parlaying this initial experience into a career in management and operations within the managed care industry. This statement of fellowship and career objectives is intended to demonstrate my capabilities within the demanding realm of managed health care, while also providing substantive evidence as to my competence and qualifications. By outlining the professional objectives I have set for myself, as well as the genuine dedication I have given to this critical sector of the health care industry, my priority remains the steadfast pursuit of those goals.

My main motivation for joining the management and operational component of the managed care industry lies in my innate desire to become a leader, and I sincerely believe that my professional efforts exemplify my ability to inspire those I work alongside. During my tenure as position at location, I helped to create several key components of a shift in marketing strategy which was designed to reach the younger market segment, and this effort entailed the development of a successful marketing presentation to members of executive management. I also worked diligently to determine patient eligibility, by reviewing financial documentation and medical paperwork, and conducting in-depth phone interviews, for a local non-profit foundation, and this initiative allowed hundreds of low-income patients to receive quality prescription medications at no cost. By writing detailed appeals that allowed previously denied patients to receive assistance with the cost of expensive medications, I worked diligently to ensure that the number of patients who were denied care was minimized to the greatest extent possible. By providing end-to-end case management and case analysis for over 50 medical patients, I strived to support senior staff in the effective management of their patient loads. In each of the efforts described above, one common thread is present throughout: my genuine willingness to take the lead within every operational aspect of the managed care industry.
