Description

This is not a remote position.

Advanced Recovery Systems is a behavioral healthcare management company focused on treating addiction, substance abuse, and mental health issues. We prioritize behavioral health and assist individuals in overcoming these challenges. With facilities across the U.S., we have been committed to this mission since our inception, employing advanced patient care approaches. Each facility aims to offer high-quality care through effective, evidence-based therapeutic models to help individuals lead healthy, fulfilling lives free from substance abuse and mental illness.

The Lead Financial Case Manager is a high-performing, lead-level individual contributor recognized for strong work ethic, dependability, financial counseling expertise, and the ability to provide hands-on support across Financial Case Management operations.

12. Support onboarding and practical training of newly hired Financial Case Managers on approved workflows, systems, documentation expectations, patient communication, and daily responsibilities.

13. Serve as a peer resource for routine financial counseling workflow questions and system navigation while escalating personnel, compliance, approval, or exception requests to the National Manager.

15. Support accurate use of Avatar, Salesforce, tracking tools, account systems, and approved reporting platforms.
