Stephanie Ciraky

Claims & Collections Manager

Stephanie Ciraky is Medici’s Billing Claims Manager, combining 22+ years of expertise with personal passion to guide patients through the complexities of insurance with empathy, clarity, and care.

A Passion for Advocacy: From Patient to Billing Expert

Stephanie Ciraky’s journey into healthcare began in a deeply personal way. After sustaining an accident early in life, she initially pursued a path as a medical assistant and physician assistant. However, that experience opened her eyes to another critical — often overlooked — piece of the healing journey: helping patients navigate the complex world of insurance and medical billing.

Since 2003, Stephanie has dedicated her career to medical billing, coding, and patient advocacy, earning certification and becoming an expert in the field. With over 22 years of experience, her work ensures that patients not only receive outstanding clinical care but also understand and maximize their insurance benefits without added stress.

Behind the Scenes, Fighting for Every Patient

As Billing Claims Manager at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, Stephanie plays a vital role that most patients never see but immediately feel. She works closely with insurance companies, appeals denied claims, and advocates for cost-sharing protections, especially for patients navigatingdual eligibility or workers' compensation cases.

Stephanie’s favorite moments are when she uncovers solutions patients didn’t know existed — whether finding coverage for a much-needed procedure or helping someone continue vital treatment. She believes every patient deserves transparency, dignity, and respect, especially when facing the challenges of chronic pain or injury.

A Personal Philosophy of Care: Clarity, Compassion, and Empowerment

Stephanie knows first hand that healthcare billing can feel overwhelming. Her philosophy is simple:

"Clear communication builds trust. When patients understand their coverage, they can focus on healing — not paperwork."

At Medici, Stephanie and her team invest the time to walk each patient through their insurance benefits, out-of-pocket costs, and options. Patients often express gratitude not only for the care they receive but for feeling seen and supported through every step of the process.

Proud to Be Part of the Medici Family

After working in other healthcare environments, Stephanie immediately recognized something special at Medici: a genuine, team-oriented culture focused on patient-first care. Medici’s commitment to holistic pain management — emphasizing minimally invasive treatments and avoiding over-reliance on prescriptions — aligns perfectly with Stephanie’s own beliefs about what ethical, compassionate healthcare should be.

You’ll find Stephanie working primarily out of our Kennesaw clinic, collaborating closely with providers, nurse practitioners, and patients to ensure a seamless experience from check-in to billing.

Life Beyond Billing: A Love for Classic Cars

When she's not advocating for patients, Stephanie loves immersing herself in the world of classic cars. A passionate collector, she enjoys attending car shows and admiring the artistry and craftsmanship of vintage vehicles.

This attention to detail and appreciation for quality mirrors her approach at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine — where every patient’s care and billing journey is handled with the same thoughtful precision and pride.

Advice for Patients: Listen to Your Body —and Don't Wait

Stephanie’s advice for anyone struggling with pain is heartfelt and clear:

"Don’t ignore your body’s signals. Seek help early — and know that support, options, and compassionate care are waiting for you."

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, Stephanie and the entire team are ready to advocate for your health, your healing, and your peace of mind.
