Key Responsibilities

• Denial Root Cause Analysis: Assist in categorizing denial trends by Payer and CARC (Claim Adjustment Reason Code) to pinpoint systemic front-end or clinical documentation failures.
• Debit/Credit Reconciliation: Audit AR adjustments, identifying where debit adjustments are required due to OON payer behavior or where credit balances need reconciliation.
• Contract Performance Tracking: Partner with the Director of Payer Contracting to model the financial impact of new contract terms and site-of-service optimization strategies.

Required Qualifications
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Health Administration, or related experience in other healthcare organizations under the same role and responsibilities.

• Analytical Mindset: Proven ability to spot patterns in "noisy" data and translate them into actionable business recommendations.

Core Competencies
• Precision: High attention to detail regarding J-code unit definitions (e.g., 1 unit = 10mg vs. 1 unit = 100mg).
• Communication: Ability to present complex financial variances to non-financial stakeholders, including clinical and intake teams.
• Proactivity: A "go-getter" who doesn't wait for reports to be requested but identifies risks and opportunities through independent data exploration.

• DSO Reduction: Help to Identify bottlenecks in the claim lifecycle to accelerate cash flow.
• Audit Accuracy: Zero-error rate in identifying J-code unit mismatches for Top Payor claims.
