About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Medical Billing & RCM Specialist with strong hands-on experience supporting U.S. healthcare practices and medical organizations.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3 years of direct U.S. medical billing experience and be comfortable independently managing key areas of the revenue cycle, including claims submission, denial management, accounts receivable (AR), insurance follow-up, payment/EOB review, and billing-related account resolution.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced medical billing professional — not a general healthcare administrative or patient coordination position.

Candidates with experience working directly within Primary Care, Behavioral Health/Mental Health, Ophthalmology, Dental, Specialty Clinics, or other U.S. healthcare practices are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day U.S. medical billing and revenue cycle activities.
• Prepare, review, and submit claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance payers.
• Review patient accounts, charges, medical records, and insurance information for billing accuracy.
• Apply knowledge of CPT, ICD-10-CM, HCPCS, and applicable modifiers as required.
• Identify and correct billing and coding issues that may result in claim rejections or denials.
• Manage denied, rejected, unpaid, and underpaid claims.
• Perform insurance follow-up and communicate with payers regarding outstanding claims.
• Conduct Accounts Receivable (AR) follow-up, including aging AR.
• Submit claim corrections, reconsiderations, and appeals as appropriate.
• Review EOBs and ERAs and investigate payment discrepancies.
• Perform or support payment posting and account reconciliation where required.
• Verify patient and insurance information as needed.
• Work with clearinghouses, payer portals, EHR/EMR systems, and billing platforms.
• Monitor outstanding accounts and take appropriate action toward resolution.
• Identify recurring billing, denial, and payment issues and communicate trends to the appropriate team.
• Maintain accurate billing documentation and follow client-specific procedures.
• Work independently in a remote environment while meeting productivity, accuracy, and turnaround-time expectations.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on U.S. medical billing experience.
• Experience working directly with a U.S. healthcare practice, clinic, medical organization, or similar healthcare setting.
• Strong understanding of the U.S. healthcare revenue cycle.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Medical Billing
  • Claims Submission
  • Denial Management
  • Accounts Receivable (AR)
  • Insurance/Payer Follow-up
  • Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
  • Medical Coding
  • CPT
  • ICD-10-CM
  • HCPCS
• Experience working with U.S. insurance payers.
• Working knowledge of EHR/EMR systems, clearinghouses, payer portals, and/or medical billing software.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to independently manage billing tasks.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing aging AR and complex denials.
• Experience handling appeals and claim reconsiderations.
• Experience with Medicare and Medicaid billing.
• Experience with payment posting and EOB/ERA reconciliation.
• Experience with multiple insurance payers and payer portals.
• Experience in one or more of the following specialties:
  • Primary Care
  • Behavioral Health / Mental Health
  • Ophthalmology
  • Dental
  • Specialty Clinics
  • Other U.S. healthcare practices
• CPC, CCS, CPB, CCA, or other relevant medical billing/coding certification.

Certification is preferred but not required. Strong practical U.S. medical billing experience is the priority.
