• Reconciling payments against account balances and researching discrepancies
• Monitoring Accounts Receivable aging reports and following up on outstanding balances
• Communicating professionally with insurance carriers and patients regarding billing questions and payment issues
• Researching and resolving denials, underpayments, disputed charges, and billing discrepancies
• Processing account adjustments, credits, refunds, and write-offs according to established policies
• Reviewing explanation of benefits (EOBs) and remittance advice to ensure accurate reimbursement
• Maintaining detailed documentation of account activity, payment arrangements, and collection efforts
• Collaborating with providers, front office staff, clinical teams, and administrative personnel to resolve account concerns
• Assisting with month-end billing and revenue cycle activities
• Maintaining accurate patient and account information within billing systems
• Supporting audit requests by providing billing documentation and account records
• Performing other related duties as assigned

• Strong data entry, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines
• Strong customer service skills and professional phone etiquette

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a physician practice environment
• Knowledge of CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10, and insurance reimbursement processes
