Ready to bring precision and expertise to the claims that matter most?

Why This Role Matters

High-dollar claims, dialysis claims, and stop loss claims carry real weight — for the organization's bottom line and for the members whose care depends on getting this right. This role sits at the center of that responsibility, reviewing and adjudicating complex claims where accuracy isn't optional and compliance isn't negotiable. Every claim processed correctly protects the organization from costly errors and ensures members get the coverage they're entitled to without delay or dispute. The work demands real command of health insurance guidelines and the ability to navigate multiple claims systems with confidence. Get the details right here, and the ripple effect shows up in client trust, regulatory standing, and the financial health of the entire claims operation.

This role is located in Tempe AZ- all candidates must be able to commute into this location weekly.

What You'll Actually Do

• Adjudicate high-dollar and specialty claims: Review, analyze, and process complex healthcare, dialysis, and stop loss claims with a level of scrutiny that catches errors before they become liabilities.
• Enforce quality and procedural standards: Conduct thorough claim reviews and examinations to confirm every claim is handled in full accordance with company policy and procedure.
• Stay current on regulatory and industry standards: Track evolving claims processing guidelines and regulatory requirements so every decision holds up to compliance scrutiny.
• Hit production and timeliness targets: Complete claims work within required timeframes while maintaining the production standards the team depends on.
• Resolve escalations for the claims team: Serve as a go-to resource for questions and complex claim issues that need a deeper level of expertise.
• Validate plan setup and documentation: Review plans, documents, and vendor information to confirm proper system setup, and flag any errors or issues in plan documents, processing, or configuration to management before they elevate.
• Manage the stop loss renewal process: Execute renewal-related claims work as directed, keeping the process on track and accurate.
• Complete required training on schedule: Stay current on all training requirements to keep skills and compliance knowledge sharp.
• Drive follow-through on open items: Track outstanding tasks and inquiries to closure, so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Support client and vendor relationships: Serve as a direct point of contact for clients, internal staff, and vendors to keep claims moving and members satisfied.
