Job Overview

A senior-level, hands-on position responsible for managing healthcare Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), insurance claims, denial resolution, and accounts receivable (AR). Direct ABA billing experience is highly preferred.

• Manage day-to-day RCM and high-volume AR operations.
• Monitor denied, outstanding, and aging claims.
• Investigate claim statuses through payer portals and billing systems.
• Conduct payer follow-ups, collections, and escalations.
• Prioritize claims based on aging, urgency, financial impact, and deadlines.
• Maintain accurate documentation of claim activities and resolutions.

2. Claims Investigation & Denial Management

• Investigate denied and rejected claims and identify root causes.
• Correct billing errors and submit corrected or resubmitted claims.
• Follow up with insurance companies regarding payment issues and discrepancies.
• Identify recurring denial patterns and implement corrective actions.
• Reduce preventable denials and outstanding AR balances.

3. ABA Billing & Payer Compliance

• Understand ABA-specific billing requirements and payer policies.
• Navigate concurrent billing restrictions involving supervision services and direct RBT care.
• Identify billing conflicts involving service dates, times, provider documentation, and billing combinations.
• Ensure compliance with payer-specific reimbursement and billing requirements.

4. Process Improvement & Automation

• Identify recurring denials, billing discrepancies, and workflow bottlenecks.
• 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.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Strong hands-on healthcare RCM and AR experience.
• Proven experience in medical billing, insurance claims, denial management, and payer follow-ups.
• Direct ABA billing experience highly preferred.
• Strong understanding of claim denials, corrected claims, resubmissions, collections, and denial root-cause analysis.
• 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.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Preferred Technical Skills

• Candid – particularly for billing, claims management, denial resolution, and AR workflows.
• Insurance payer portals and claim-status systems.
• Claims management and denial tracking tools.
• Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
• Slack or similar communication platforms.
• Healthcare billing and RCM systems.
• Workflow automation and process improvement tools.

Ideal Candidate Profile

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

• Takes initiative in identifying and addressing outstanding claims.
• Owns claims from investigation through final resolution.
• Understands ABA billing nuances and payer-specific restrictions.
• Identifies recurring issues and develops long-term solutions.
• Prevents billing errors before claims are submitted.
• Is comfortable using technology and automation.
• Works collaboratively while maintaining independent ownership.

Hiring Priority

• Immediate need: At least 1 qualified specialist.
• Potential additional headcount: A second specialist may be considered depending on workload and operational requirements.

Important Candidate Screening Consideration:

Candidates must have substantial healthcare RCM, claims management, denial resolution, and AR experience. Those whose backgrounds are limited to basic medical billing, data entry, or medical records retrieval without hands-on claims and AR ownership are not suitable.
