We seek a motivated problem solver to join the Revenue Cycle Management Operations Team. This role supports three different sets of claims management responsibilities: PreProcess, Payer Outbound, Patient Inbound & Outbound. This team member plays an integral role in the claims collection cycle, providing direction and analysis on denied claims. These responsibilities help fuel our mission. PreProcess Responsibilities The PreProcess Specialist role is all about the pre-submittal for claims processing. This team oversees submitting claims to insurance companies and solving any internal claim errors and payer rejection errors. The goal of this team is to ensure claims get to an accepted status. This role exposes us to the use of external payer portals to obtain patient eligibility information and process the claims accurately through our clearinghouse. Payer Responsibilities The payer team is crucial to VaxCare as, in this role, you are working on claims that have already been denied or have an unknown status. You are contacting insurance companies daily to get claim status and sending back claims for preprocessing if you believe they were incorrectly processed. In this role, you must use critical thinking skills and problem‑solving to overturn a denial of a paid status. The payer specialist team is typically on the phone 60% of the time daily. Patient Responsibilities In this role, you are responsible for making inbound and outbound contact with our patients. Our outreach is to obtain additional and updated insurance information so that their claims can be processed through their insurance instead of becoming a patient’s responsibility. VaxCare’s goal is not to collect money from patients unless dictated by their insurance company. We aim to ensure patients receive the proper care and have their insurance pay for services. In this role, you need to be compassionate and have an understanding mindset as we deal with many patients who may be going through tough times. This role requires you to be on the job 100% of the time.
