Job Description Summary
The RCM Quality Auditor is a critical member of the Revenue Cycle Management quality assurance function, responsible for auditing end-to-end RCM processes including medical coding, claims billing, accounts receivable follow-up, denial management, and payment posting. This role ensures that all transactions meet required accuracy benchmarks, comply with HIPAA regulations, payer guidelines, and client-specific SOPs. The Quality Auditor serves as the operational backbone of quality governance – identifying defects, performing root cause analyses, supporting corrective actions, and continuously contributing to a culture of excellence across the revenue cycle.
What You’ll Do
- Audit daily transactions across assigned RCM verticals (billing, AR, denials, posting) against defined quality parameters
- Perform end-to-end internal audits covering pre-bill, post-bill, and post-payment stages of the revenue cycle
- Validate ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes for accuracy, specificity, and payer-specific compliance rules
- Review claim scrubbing outputs to identify errors prior to submission and flag for correction
- Ensure audit sample size meets the defined monthly audit plan (100% coverage target)
- Ensure strict adherence to client-specific SOPs, payer guidelines, HIPAA, PHI, and CMS regulations; monitor and flag critical compliance errors with zero-tolerance and elevate immediately to the Quality Team Leader
- Verify that all claim edits, modifier usage, and medical necessity documentation align with payer contracts
- Support internal compliance audits and provide documentation for regulatory or client reviews
- Classify errors into critical, non‑critical, process, and knowledge‑based categories; conduct root cause analysis for recurring patterns and document findings; prepare weekly and monthly trend reports; track corrective action plan implementation and verify effectiveness
- Identify skill gaps from audit data, conduct targeted one‑on‑one feedback sessions, support the Quality Team Leader in designing training, conduct calibration sessions, and create error‑specific reference guides and job aids
- Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly MIS reports, dashboards, and scorecards; maintain audit logs, error trackers, feedback sheets, and calibration records; generate RCA reports, corrective action logs, and quality trend charts for leadership review
- Participate in Lean, Six Sigma, and automation‑driven improvement initiatives across RCM; identify manual and repetitive tasks for automation; pilot technology solutions with IT and operations; benchmark internal standards against industry leaders and recommend improvements
- Prepare quality summary reports, audit findings, and action plans for client quality calls; assist in responding to client quality queries with data‑backed responses and corrective timelines; maintain client‑facing scorecards and ensure timely submission per contractual timelines
