• Maintain consistent account follow-up and meet established productivity and A/R performance expectations

• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills
• Persistent and comfortable with high-volume claim follow-up and collection activity
• Ability to independently research problems and see accounts through to resolution
• Must have a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent
