● Maintain awareness of payer billing and coding requirements
● Assist with periodic review of accounts receivable and outstanding claim issues as

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is someone who understands that getting the claim right before it goes
out is just as important as working the denial afterward.
We are looking for someone who can quickly review our daily claims, identify anything that
doesn't look right, make or recommend the necessary corrections, and help ensure claims are
submitted cleanly.

RHC billing experience is a major plus.

Schedule & Compensation
● Approximately 1–2 hours per day
