  • Ensure compliance with all payer requirements, regulatory guidelines, and coding standards (e.g., CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS).
  • Partner with coding and documentation teams to improve accuracy and minimize rework or denials.
  • Continuously evaluate and improve billing workflows, policies, and controls to maximize cash flow and minimize errors or delays.
  • Collections & Accounts Receivable

  • Implement proactive denial management and appeals processes.
  • 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

  • Own the optimization and administration of billing and collections systems (e.g., EMR / EHR, practice management, clearinghouses, and AR tools).
  • 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.

  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, healthcare administration, or related field; master's degree or MBA preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in healthcare billing, revenue cycle, or financial operations, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
