Physician Billing Analyst

Job Description Summary

The Medical Billing Analyst is an intermediate billing position within the Hospital or Physicians Billing Offices for the Albany Med Health System (AMHS). This role is centered around the timely follow up needed on accounts that have already been billed but need re-billing, accounts in which the payer has not responded within the regulatory guidelines, or AMHS has received a denial that needs an immediate action and/or rebuttal. The denials assigned in this role are more intricate than others and the denial response may require a professional narrative accompanied by supporting documentation to be overturned. Some or all these areas may be the focus of the position depending on the resources needed. The incumbent must be able to prove that they have an ability to learn quickly and work independently. They will possess the ability to use payer websites to locate payer policies that may be impacting the ability for AMHS to be paid timely. The incumbent will be expected to work independently and meet production standards after the prescribed onboarding and training is concluded. Communication with peers, trainers, and leaders will also be imperative to success.
