As a Claims Adjustor, you will manage and process healthcare claims for our self-funded employer groups. Health care providers treat patients, then file medical claims to receive payment from the patient’s Benefit Plan. Claim Adjustors review and assess the claims, adjudicating payment to the provider on behalf of the Plan if a claim is covered by the patient’s Benefit Plan.

When such additional data is received, reopen the denied claim, and re-adjudicate based on the information.

Centivo Values: 

• Resilient – This is wicked hard. There is no easy button for healthcare affordability. Luckily, the mission makes it worth it and sustains us when things are tough. Being resilient ensures we don’t give up.  

• Uncommon - The status quo stinks so we had to go out and build something better. We know the healthcare system. It isn't working for members, employers, and providers. So we're building it from scratch, from the ground up. Our focus is on making things better for them while also improving clinical results - which is bold and uncommon. 

• Positive – We care about each other. It takes energy to do hard stuff, build something better and to be resilient and unconventional while doing it. Because of that, we make sure we give kudos freely and feedback with care. When our tank gets low, a team member is there to be a source of new energy. We celebrate together. We are supportive, generous, humble, and positive.
