Andrea Herrera
Her journey into medical billing began in 2015 when she took on the role of managing five mental health clinics. In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operations required to run multiple locations successfully, she was asked to assist with billing issues. This responsibility quickly evolved into a deep and lasting area of expertise. Through hands-on experience, she gained a comprehensive understanding of medical billing, coding, claim resolution, and the operational needs of a growing practice. During her tenure, they expanded from one location to five, allowing her to absorb and contribute to every facet of practice management.
After several years, she transitioned into the Director of Operations for a small practice of registered dietitians. This was an exciting and transformative experience, where she took full ownership of the billing function. She became well-versed in dietitian-specific billing codes, insurance credentialing, claims resolution, and payer communications. Working closely with practitioners and patients was a gratifying aspect of this role. Over four years, she helped the practice grow from 4 dietitians to nearly 100, ultimately supporting the business's sale and training the new owners in the unique requirements of dietitian billing.
Beyond her professional life, she enjoys spending time with her husband and our mini labradoodle, visiting with our children and grandchildren, and immersing herself in hobbies such as audiobook listening, crafting, nature walks, cooking, and mahjong. Growing up by the ocean, she still loves returning “home” to the beach whenever possible.
