Department

Revenue Cycle Management – Central Business Office

Assignment Length : 3 Months (Potential Extension)

Position Summary : This role performs comprehensive audits and resolution activities across the claims lifecycle, ensuring accurate billing, timely reimbursement, and compliance with payer requirements.

• Correct claim discrepancies within established turnaround times.
• Ensure claim data accuracy, compliant coding, and alignment with the member's plan benefit.
• Process claims quickly and accurately according to organizational benchmarks.
• Apply reimbursement rules based on the member's benefits and plan specifications.
• Validate supporting documentation needed for accurate processing (eligibility, benefits, authorizations, etc.).
• Conduct follow-up on delayed, denied, or pended claims; escalate unresolved items as needed.
• Investigate processing delays, missing information, or system errors and implement corrective action.
• Refer cases to clinical management teams when medical review is required to ensure appropriate reimbursement.
• Verify and document member eligibility, benefits coverage, and authorization requirements.
• Identify discrepancies in coverage or authorizations that impact payment determinations.
• Communicate directly with payers or internal departments to resolve missing or inconsistent benefit information.
• Work closely with leadership, clinical review staff, and the CBO team to ensure timely resolution of claim issues.
• Participate in problem-solving discussions related to claim trends or systemic issues.
• Support training and onboarding efforts as needed during onsite sessions.
