Quality Assurance testing experience primary in EDI, 401K, Medical, Clinical and Banking fields. Worked for ten
years as an EDI Representative for Emblem Health Coordination of Benefit Contractor (COBC). COBAs permit
other insurers and benefit programs (also known as trading partners) to send eligibility information to CMS and

claims for their members to CMS’ Common Working File (CWF), the central system through which all Medicare
claims are sent for payment authorization. The CWF houses COBA trading partner’s eligibility information for
crossover purposes only in those instances where the information successfully matches with the in-file CMS
entitlement information. My duties included implementing and supporting new and existing Trading Partners
process eligibility files, transmission of claims, Researching and answering all crossover issues and Disputes.
