  • Perform insurance follow-up with Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers.
  • Prepare, submit, and follow up on appeals and corrected claims.
  • Review account history, payer responses, and reimbursement discrepancies to determine appropriate next steps.
  • Work accounts through resolution to maximize reimbursement and reduce aging A/R.
  • Identify and track denial trends by payer and communicate recurring issues to leadership.
  • Document all account activity, payer communications, and follow-up actions accurately in Epic.

  • Experience identifying and tracking denial trends by payer.
  • Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills.
  • Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and focused on resolving accounts rather than simply meeting productivity goals.
  • Ability to work independently and manage a high-volume workload.
  • High School Diploma or GED required.

Additional Details:

  • Contract opportunity with potential for permanent placement.
  • Training schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM.
