The role is primarily focused on billing, with regular EVV monitoring, exception correction, submission support, and coordination across internal teams and external partners. Occasional travel may be required.

Responsibilities & Scope
•    Prepare and submit accurate claims or invoices to the appropriate payers, confirming eligibility, authorization, payer requirements, and required billing information before submission.

•    Monitor EVV reports, dashboards, and compliance results to identify missing visits, data mismatches, validation errors, failed transmissions, and other exceptions that may affect billing or payment.
•    Research and correct routine EVV visit exceptions in the appropriate source system, coordinate required updates, manage submissions and resubmissions, and verify that visit data is accepted and processed by the applicable aggregator or payer.
•    Reconcile EVV visit data to billing and claim information, including patient, caregiver, service, date, time, units, authorization, payer, provider, and program details, and resolve discrepancies before or after claim submission.
•    Work with payers, state agencies, EVV aggregators, HHAeXchange, Medflyt, Sandata, and internal operational teams to investigate issues, document findings, and support timely resolution; escalate policy, access, or technical-development issues appropriately.

•    Ability to research errors, identify root causes, follow established procedures, and resolve routine-to-moderately difficult payer, system, or data issues independently.
•    Ability to manage a high-volume workload, meet deadlines, and shift priorities based on claim status, timely filing limits, EVV compliance, payer timelines, and operational needs.
•    Clear and professional communication skills for working with internal teams, payers, state agencies, EVV vendors, and billing system support partners.
