• Correct billing errors and submit corrected or resubmitted claims.
• Follow up with insurance companies regarding payment issues and discrepancies.

• Recommend solutions to prevent repeated billing issues.
• Improve billing workflows, internal controls, and operational processes.
• Identify opportunities for automation and improved RCM efficiency.

5. Team Collaboration & Ownership

• Coordinate with the existing RCM team and distribute workloads effectively.
• Manage responsibilities independently with minimal supervision.
• Communicate claim issues, findings, and progress proactively.
• Take ownership of substantial billing and AR workloads while maintaining accuracy and productivity.

• Knowledge of insurance billing requirements and reimbursement policies.
• Familiarity with ABA-specific billing rules, particularly concurrent supervision and RBT direct care restrictions.
• Ability to independently manage high-volume AR and resolve outstanding claims.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Ideal Candidate Profile

A proactive, analytical, and solutions-oriented senior RCM professional who:
