• Resolve disputes and discrepancies independently, escalating only what genuinely requires the Revenue Cycle Manager or owner

Requirements

Required Experience — Non-Negotiable

• Minimum 3 years of US medical billing experience, with at least 1 year of substantive out-of-network work. Candidates whose experience is exclusively in-network claim submission will not be a fit

The Kind of Person This Works For

• Independent. You research the answer before you ask. You bring recommendations, not open questions
  
• Persistent. You will call a payer three times about the same claim and stay pleasant on the third call
  
• Organized under load. Dozens of moving accounts, none of which can be dropped
  
• Direct. You tell us when something is wrong or when you are behind, early
  
• Discreet. Full HIPAA compliance is assumed, not celebrated
  

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
  

• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
  

• Work in a dynamic and supportive team environment.
  

• Make a meaningful impact by helping to build and strengthen families across the globe.
