This position is responsible for the A/R lifecycle, including claim payment and denial review, carrier follow-up, underpayment identification, appeals, and resolution of outstanding balances.

We are looking for someone who is persistent, organized, comfortable working difficult claims, and understands that a claim is not resolved simply because a bill was submitted.

• Review payments and remittance documentation for accuracy and identify inappropriate reductions, denials, and underpayments


• Research and resolve denied or rejected bills, including issues related to claim information, authorization, compensability, documentation, coding, and billing requirements


• Prepare and submit reconsiderations, appeals, corrected bills, and supporting documentation when appropriate


• Identify discrepancies between billed charges, expected reimbursement, and actual payments


• Maintain accurate and detailed account notes documenting all collection activity and follow-up


• Work Workers’ Compensation aging reports systematically and prioritize accounts requiring immediate action


• Obtain and verify necessary claim information, including carrier/TPA, adjuster information, claim numbers, dates of injury, and authorization information


• Identify recurring denial and payment trends and escalate systemic issues to management


• Collaborate with coding, authorization, clinical, and front-end teams to resolve issues affecting reimbursement


• Maintain consistent account follow-up and meet established productivity and A/R performance expectations

• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills


• Persistent and comfortable with high-volume claim follow-up and collection activity


• Ability to independently research problems and see accounts through to resolution

Preferred Skills
