Company Description
Greater Houston Psychiatric Associates, PLLC is on the lookout for someone who’s not afraid of CPT codes, insurance claims, or the occasional mysterious denial that makes you question reality.
THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION, perfect for someone who:
- Has a high school diploma and a love for numbers, charts, and alphabetized filing systems.
- Can decode ICD-10 mental health codes like it’s their second language.
- Enjoys chasing down insurance companies (politely, of course).
- Can explain a billing statement to a patient without needing a whiteboard and a TED Talk.
- Has the magical ability to sit for 90% of the day and still get things done.
We’re looking for someone who’s detail-oriented, organized, and ideally fun to be around—because we believe billing can be serious and hilarious (especially when the fax machine decides to jam for no reason).
