  • Monitor and analyze accounts receivable aging, reimbursement trends, and denial patterns to identify risks and improvement opportunities
  • Generate and maintain billing, reimbursement, and performance reports to support operational and financial decision-making
  • Conduct audits and data clean-up initiatives to ensure billing accuracy and regulatory compliance
  • Identify and implement strategies to improve first-pass claim acceptance rates and reduce revenue leakage
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and technology teams to enhance billing workflows, reporting, and system functionality
  • Maintain detailed documentation of billing activities, payer communications, and process updates
  • Provide billing guidance and training to internal and external partners as needed
  • Ensure strict adherence to HIPAA and healthcare billing regulations
  • Support invoice distribution, payment tracking, and resolution of billing discrepancies
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the revenue cycle function

  • Strong knowledge of CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding and reimbursement methodologies
  • Proven experience working with EHR / Practice Management Systems and billing software
  • Solid understanding of payer reimbursement models, AR management, and denial workflows
  • Experience producing and interpreting reimbursement, collections, and aging reports
  • Advanced attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a customer-focused mindset
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides)

What’s Offered

  • Full-time, permanent position with regular business hours
  • Competitive base salary plus annual performance bonus
