Two temporary positions are available immediately. The anticipated length of coverage will be until March 2010 and then the other until beginning of June 2010.
The Collection Specialist works to ensure that we are optimizing insurance and patient collections, maintaining accurate balances of patient accounts, and reducing outstanding receivables. This position is also a vital link between patients/responsible party, insurance carriers, and facilities, focusing on collection monies timely and maintaining positive customer relations.

Qualified candidates will receive a very competitive compensation package.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
1. Manage outstanding accounts receivable for assigned facilities. Resolve outstanding balances, resubmitting claims and providing necessary information to support prompt payment. Parties which may be contacted to resolve an outstanding balance include but are not limited to patients, responsible parties, insurance carriers, case managers, employers, referring physician, attorneys, and facility personnel.
2. Follow up on outstanding accounts receivable, focusing on maintaining aged receivables within 90 day DSO. Includes researching aged account reports, outstanding “to do" list, and processing problematic EOBs.
3. Make all necessary corrections to the billing system. Research and resolve claims rejected by payor.
4. Identify billing and coverage problems. Communicate with billing and front office staff regarding billing requirements not being met.
5. Maintain current knowledge of policies and procedures as provided by management.
