  • Partner with Revenue Cycle, Coding, and Clinical Operations teams to prevent rework and reduce avoidable denials.
  • Compliance & Payer Relations
  • Ensure all activities comply with federal and state regulations, payer contracts, and HIPAA requirements.

  • Serve as the escalation point for payer disputes and foster strong relationships with payers to facilitate timely resolution.
  • Leadership & Collaboration
  • Recruit, train, and mentor claims resolution staff.

  • Collaborate with Finance, Technology, and Market Operations to support company-wide revenue cycle initiatives.
  • Qualifications :
