Surgical Medical Collector

Location: Tarrytown, NY 10591 (On-site)
Pay Rate: $30–$35/hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Assignment Type: Temporary (minimum 8 weeks, potential extension)
Overview
A leading multi-specialty healthcare organization is seeking a Surgical Collector to support high-volume physician accounts receivable during a key transition period. This role focuses on surgical claims follow-up, insurance resolution, and patient balance collections as the organization prepares for an upcoming Epic implementation and wind-down of legacy A/R.

This is a hands-on revenue cycle role suited for someone who thrives in fast-paced billing environments and can independently manage complex claim workflows from start to finish.
Key Responsibilities
  • Manage assigned physician A/R work queues and follow up on outstanding surgical claims
  • Contact insurance carriers via phone and online portals to verify claim status and resolve issues
  • Review eligibility, benefits, payments, and denial details for accuracy
  • Prepare and submit written appeals for denied or underpaid claims
  • Analyze daily payment and adjustment reports, including zero-payment claims
  • Identify and correct billing errors, including CPT/modifier issues, coordinating with internal teams
  • Provide allowed amounts to surgical coordinators for patient pre-collection estimates
  • Communicate with patients regarding outstanding balances, deductibles, and coinsurance
  • Review insurance contract rates and ensure payments align with agreements
  • Scan, attach, and maintain documentation in the billing system (NextGen/ICS or similar)
  • Track and resolve payer correspondence and outstanding documentation requests
  • Prioritize high-dollar or aged accounts and escalate unresolved issues as needed
Required Qualifications
  • Prior experience in medical insurance collections or healthcare A/R follow-up required
  • Strong understanding of claims processing, denials, and appeals workflows
  • Experience with surgical billing or specialty practice billing strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with systems such as NextGen or similar EHR/billing platforms is a plus
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities independently
  • Clear communication skills for both payer and patient interaction
Why This Role
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced collector who wants meaningful, hands-on impact during a critical A/R cleanup initiative. You’ll work closely with experienced revenue cycle professionals, manage real surgical billing complexity, and contribute directly to financial readiness ahead of a major system transition.
