What does an independent contractor medical billing professional do?

An Independent Contractor Medical Billing professional handles the process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies to receive payment for services provided by a healthcare provider. Unlike in-house billers, independent contractors usually work remotely and may serve multiple clients or practices. Their responsibilities include coding medical procedures, managing patient billing records, ensuring accurate claim submissions, and resolving billing discrepancies. They must stay current with healthcare regulations and insurance requirements to ensure compliance and maximize revenue for their clients.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an independent contractor medical billing professional?

To thrive as an Independent Contractor Medical Billing professional, you need a solid understanding of medical terminology, coding systems (such as ICD-10 and CPT), and insurance claim processes, often supported by certification like CMRS or CPC. Familiarity with medical billing software (e.g., Kareo, AdvancedMD) and electronic health records (EHR) platforms is crucial for efficient claims management. Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and effective communication set top performers apart in this role. These competencies ensure accuracy in billing, faster reimbursement cycles, and strong client satisfaction in a remote, deadline-driven environment.

What are some common challenges independent contractor medical billers face when working with multiple healthcare providers?

Independent contractor medical billers often manage accounts for several healthcare providers simultaneously, which can present challenges such as juggling varying billing software, staying updated on each provider’s specific payer contracts, and managing diverse documentation requirements. Additionally, maintaining clear communication and timely follow-up with each provider is crucial to prevent claim delays or denials. Organizational skills and adaptability are essential to efficiently handle these complexities and build strong professional relationships with each client.

Job description

NORTH CAROLINA REMOTE PSYCHIATRIC-MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER (PMHNP)
Initiating Visit & Supervising Practitioner : Principal Illness Navigation, Peer Support (PIN-PS)
Independent Contractor (1099) | Telehealth/ Remote position | You Are Accountable
ABOUT THE ROLE
You Are Accountable operates behavioral health programs built around Principal Illness Navigation - Peer Support (PIN-PS), a Medicare care-navigation benefit in which certified peer support specialists walk alongside patients living with serious behavioral health conditions. Every patient's navigation episode must begin with a qualifying initiating visit furnished by a billing practitioner, and the ongoing peer navigation is billed incident to that practitioner's services under general supervision. That practitioner is you.
This is a flexible, telehealth-based contractor role with meaningful clinical leverage: you conduct the psychiatric evaluation that opens each patient's episode, set the plan of care the peer team supports, and remain available as the supervising clinician while peer specialists deliver month-to-month navigation. You control your own schedule, and compensation scales directly with the work you personally perform.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Conduct initiating visits (e.g., psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, CPT 90791, or E/M visits) via telehealth for patients entering PIN-PS programs, establishing the diagnosis, medical necessity, and plan of care the navigation services will support.
  • Document each visit in our EHR within 48 hours to clean, billable standards, including patient consent to navigation services where required.
  • Serve as the billing practitioner of record for enrolled patients and provide general supervision of the certified peer support specialists furnishing navigation incident to your services.
  • Furnish follow-up visits for your enrolled patients where clinically indicated and mutually agreed.
  • Cooperate with quality, audit, and payer-compliance activities relating to your patients.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • Active, unrestricted APRN/NP licensure in one or more of: Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York (multi-state licensure a plus). State credential titles vary (APRN, CRNP, APN, NP) - all are welcome.
  • National board certification as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC).
  • Any physician collaboration, supervision, or protocol arrangement required by your state (e.g., prescriptive authority agreement in TX; collaborative agreement in PA; joint protocol in NJ; practice agreement or NP Modernization Act qualification in NY; supervisory protocol in FL) - we can discuss support here. We also have physicians that we work with that can provide this.
  • Active NPI; eligibility to enroll with and reassign benefits to our professional entities for Medicare and Medicaid; never excluded from any federal or state health care program.
  • Comfort with telehealth care for adults with serious behavioral health conditions, and an appreciation for peer support as part of the care team.

COMPENSATION
  • Professional services: 80% of net collections for each service you personally furnish, paid within 30 days after the month we receive payment from the funding source, with full per-service reporting.
  • Supervision stipend: $5.00 per supervised patient per month for each month billable navigation services are furnished to that patient under your supervision.
  • Malpractice coverage: professional liability coverage for your services under this engagement provided at our expense ($1M per claim / $3M aggregate).

ENGAGEMENT DETAILS
1099 independent contractor; you keep full independent clinical judgment and set your own schedule around agreed availability. The role is non-exclusive - most of our practitioners maintain other practices. Because each patient's navigation episode depends on continuity with their billing practitioner, the agreement includes a 12-month notice period for termination without cause, which ends early automatically once your enrolled patients have been transitioned to a successor practitioner with continuity of care maintained; after giving notice you are never obligated to take on new patients.
You Are Accountable is an equal opportunity organization. All engagements are subject to credentialing, exclusion screening, and payer enrollment.
