About Pair Team

Pair Team is a public benefit company reimagining care for the safety net. As an AI-enabled medical group for Medicaid and Medicare, we deliver medical, behavioral, and social care by integrating shelters, pantries and other community-based organizations into our whole-person model. As California's largest complex care provider, we've proven our impact to reduce avoidable emergency care, including a 52% and 26% reduction in ER visits and hospitalizations respectively. Once scaled nationally, our approach would save tax payers $150B per year.

With our years of experience and vast data collected, we are now building an AI platform that embeds social work agents across the safety net to truly unify our fragmented healthcare and welfare system. By scaling our country's frontline medical and social services workforce, we aim to bring high-touch care to everyone.

At Pair Team, we're not just delivering care—we're transforming it. We're building a future where high-touch, community-driven care is accessible to everyone, especially the most underserved.

This is a fully remote position reporting up to the VP of Finance and BizOps.

What You'll Do

• Own the RCM function end to end across Medicaid and Medicare — from eligibility and authorization through claims, denials, and collections.
• Lead RCM strategy: team building, hiring/managing RCM staff, KPI development and reporting, and cross-functional collaboration with operations, product, and engineering to build supporting tooling and processes.
• Run deep analysis on claims data to identify gaps, drive remediation with cross-functional stakeholders, and improve collection rate and DSO.
• Manage patient billing and coinsurance collection processes
