  • Oversee timely and accurate cash application and reconciliation activities.
  • Collaborate with the finance team to ensure accurate reporting of revenue and bad debt.
  • Billing Systems & Technology :

  • Partner with IT and vendors to lead system upgrades, implementations, and integrations that enhance billing accuracy and efficiency.
  • Leverage data and analytics to drive decision-making, improve transparency, and identify trends or opportunities for improvement.
  • Ensure data integrity across systems and support audit readiness.
  • Compliance & Risk Management :

  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of payer rules, industry regulations, and healthcare billing standards.
  • Ensure internal controls are in place and functioning effectively to mitigate risks.
  • Support audits and manage payer or regulatory inquiries with accuracy and professionalism.
