Join Our Team

Integrated Sleep Care, a Pivotal Health Company, is committed to improving lives through exceptional sleep medicine services and patient-centered care. We are seeking an experienced Medical Billing Specialist to join our growing Revenue Cycle team in Saginaw, Michigan.

This role is ideal for a medical billing professional who enjoys the day-to-day management of claims, payment posting, insurance follow-up, denial resolution, appeals, and accounts receivable.

This is a hands-on medical billing position. While a working knowledge of medical terminology, ICD-10 diagnoses, CPT procedures, and payer guidelines is important, this is not a medical coding role.
