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.

• 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 escalate.
• 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.
