Monitor aging reports and organize follow-up efforts based on deadlines, claim value, and collection priorities.

Communicate with insurance representatives, physician offices, patients, and internal departments to address account questions and resolve discrepancies.

Maintain complete billing records while following healthcare privacy standards and current reimbursement regulations.

Requirements - At least 2 years of medical billing experience, preferably in an ambulatory surgery center or other surgical care setting.

Experience billing commercial plans, Medicare, Medicaid, workers' compensation, and other third-party payers.

Familiarity with diagnosis and procedure coding, modifiers, revenue codes, and standard medical claim documentation.

Demonstrated success in denial resolution, accounts receivable follow-up, and medical collections.
