Health Insurance Verification Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Description

ABOUT THE JOB:

The Insurance Verification Lead oversees front-end revenue cycle workflows that occur prior to claim submission, including insurance verification, coordination of benefits (COB), registration accuracy, financial clearance, and point-of-service collections.

This role provides oversight, standardization, training, auditing, and accountability for front-end operational workflows across VSON locations. While the position may provide occasional operational coverage, the primary focus is process ownership, workflow improvement, staff development, performance monitoring, and ensuring accurate patient intake and financial clearance processes.

The role works closely with front desk teams, operational leadership, billing partners, and clinical departments to support clean claims, reduce preventable denials, and improve patient financial workflows.

This is a full-time, Monday through Friday position from 8a -5p with a 1 hour lunch. This role can sit in our Edwards, Vail, or Frisco offices with an opportunity for some hybrid work when trained. This role will require travel to all VSON clinics and will receive paid mileage.

Priority will be given to applicants who already live in Eagle or Summit County, Colorado. 

This role is eligible for Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, employer-paid long-term disability and life insurance, an extensive PTO program, continuing education, birthday time off, 401K and profit sharing, and is eligible for the company's monthly bonus program. 

This role will be open until July 1, 2026 or until filled.
