  • Maintain accurate notes and documentation of all payer communications and claim-related actions.
• Accounts Receivable, Denials, and Appeals
  • Monitor insurance and patient accounts receivable, prioritize aging balances, and work accounts consistently through resolution.
  • Investigate denied, rejected, or unpaid claims to identify the root cause and determine the appropriate corrective action.
  • Prepare and submit corrected claims, reconsideration requests, and formal appeals with the documentation necessary to support payment.
  • Follow up with payers through telephone calls, portals, and written correspondence until claims are appropriately resolved.
  • Identify recurring denial patterns and recommend changes to coding, documentation, registration, or front-office workflows.
  • Track key revenue cycle indicators, such as aging accounts, denial trends, clean-claim rates, and outstanding balances, and provide regular updates to clinic leadership.
• Patient Balances, Pre-Collection Support, and Financial Communication
  • Work patient and guarantor balances consistently, respectfully, and efficiently before accounts are considered for transfer to the clinic’s external collection agency.
  • Contact families regarding outstanding balances, document collection efforts, and help resolve account questions or discrepancies.
  • Follow established clinic procedures for identifying truly delinquent accounts and preparing them for external collections.
  • Support the preparation and communication of patient estimates and help families understand anticipated out-of-pocket expenses.
    
  • Assist with resolving credit balances, refunds, payment posting concerns, and other patient-account issues as needed.
    
• Front-Desk Support and Up-Front Collections
  • Serve as the primary escalation resource when front-desk staff needs assistance determining estimated patient responsibility or managing complex financial situations.
  • Help staff interpret available eligibility and benefit information, including deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and limitations that may affect patient responsibility.
  • Support accurate collection of required payments at or before the time of service.
• Revenue Cycle Improvement and Compliance
  • Take ownership of day-to-day revenue cycle performance and proactively identify opportunities to improve accuracy, efficiency, and cash flow.
  • Maintain organized records and ensure billing activities comply with applicable regulations, payer contracts, and clinic policies.
  • Collaborate with providers, clinical staff, front-desk team members, leadership, and outside vendors to resolve revenue cycle concerns.
    
  • Provide leadership with clear reporting on unresolved claims, aging balances, denial trends, workflow concerns, and recommended corrective actions.
  • Assist with payer audits, documentation requests, and internal compliance reviews as needed.
• Provider Credentialing and Enrollment (Optional, Based on Experience)
  • Lead provider credentialing, payer enrollment, and recredentialing activities across applicable portals and systems, including CAQH.
  • Complete and monitor new-provider enrollment applications, demographic updates, roster submissions, and payer maintenance requests.
  • Maintain accurate provider profiles, licenses, certifications, malpractice coverage information, and other required credentialing documents.
  • Track application deadlines and effective dates and follow up regularly with payers to prevent unnecessary enrollment delays.
  • Verify that providers remain active, properly affiliated, and billable with contracted health plans.
    Maintain an organized credentialing tracker and provide timely status updates to clinic leadership.
