The successful candidate will be comfortable researching claim issues, communicating with insurance companies, documenting follow-up activity, and taking ownership of accounts through resolution.

• Manage insurance accounts receivable and follow up on unpaid, delayed, rejected, underpaid, or denied claims.
• Review claim status, payer responses, and account history to determine the appropriate next steps.
• Contact commercial insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care payers to research and resolve claim issues.

• Document all payer communication, follow-up activity, and resolution steps clearly and accurately.
• Identify recurring payer, provider, location, or claim-processing issues and elevate trends to leadership.
• Use Excel, billing-system reports, and internal tracking tools to organize follow-up and monitor outstanding accounts.
• Collaborate with billing, credentialing, clinical operations, providers, and leadership to support timely reimbursement and reduce preventable denials.
• Assist patients with billing questions, insurance concerns, balances, or account-related issues in a professional and respectful manner.
• Support payment research, patient balance review, claim corrections, and limited payment-posting functions as needed.
• Cross-train in additional medical billing and revenue cycle responsibilities as the organization grows.

What We’re Looking For

• At least two years of recent experience in medical billing, insurance follow-up, accounts receivable, denial management, payment posting, claims processing, or a related revenue cycle role.
• Experience in a physician practice, hospital-based practice, specialty group, medical billing company, health system, or similar healthcare setting.
• Working knowledge of the medical billing and insurance reimbursement process.
• Ability to research why a claim was rejected, denied, delayed, or underpaid and determine the appropriate action.
• Experience working with commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, or other healthcare payers.
• Ability to read payer correspondence, claim status information, explanations of benefits, and electronic remittance advice.
• Professional communication skills when speaking with insurance representatives, patients, providers, and internal team members.
• Strong organization, documentation, time-management, and follow-through skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and continue working an issue until it is resolved or appropriately escalated.
• Comfort learning new payer requirements, systems, workflows, and responsibilities.
• Experience using electronic medical record or practice-management software.
• Basic to intermediate Microsoft Excel skills.
