HERE IS MY PARAGRAPH:
I’m replying to your career opportunity posted on your website. I understand that you actively seeking to hire a Claims and Billing Coordinator at one of your Kaiser Permanente locations. I have been employed with Kaiser Permanente for eight years and work in the laboratory department as a phlebotomist. I' am looking for a new opportunity to advance my career, also to ensure a stable future for myself and my family. The Health Care industry has always been a dream of mine to pursue, however I had to decide that as phlebotomist there is not much you can advance. So, after some researching I decided to pursue a Medical Billing & Coding degree, which led me to taking classes at Penn Foster University. What inspired me to decide on this career was my younger sister who is a Medical Billing & Coding and also how she really loves her job because she has the opportunity to advance in her field. Just to see and know how much she has advance in her job compare to my job has really made a big difference to me and how I see my future. Upon completion, I have gained the knowledge and proficiency in medical billing and collections programs. I also have the ability to multitask, follow through skills, a team-oriented attitude, and work well under pressure. I value your mission and visions to providing a full range of health related services including prevention, wellness, and education. As a Claims and Billing Coordinator within your company, I am confident that I could make a valuable contribution to the medical team serving your patients and insurance companies in a timely manner.
