My past experiences have prepared me for a role with Travelers. I am experienced in determining coverage; primary, secondary. Reading EOB's, Denials, Peer Reviews, IME reports, negotiating claims, obtaining records, and working on a file from beginning to end.

That's wonderful that you feel well prepared for working at Traveler's, but I suggest being a little more specific about exactly which professional experiences have prepared you for this role, and how the skills that you've already gained in other places will be transferrable here.
