    Medical Billing Manager / Revenue Cycle Manager

    Location: Metairie, LouisianaPosition: Full-time, on-siteRemote work: This is not a remote or work-from-home position.

    Position Summary

    Seeking an experienced Medical Billing Manager / Revenue Cycle Manager to lead our in-house billing department.

    This position requires more than strong medical billing skills. We are looking for a hands-on leader who can manage people, monitor performance, establish accountability, analyze revenue-cycle data, and provide meaningful reports to leadership.

    This is a working manager position. The Billing Manager will supervise a team of approximately two to three billing employees while also maintaining direct responsibility for assigned portions of the billing and collections process.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Lead, supervise, train, and support the billing team.
    • Assign responsibilities and ensure that work is completed accurately and on time.
    • Participate directly in day-to-day billing, collections, accounts receivable, or denial-management activities.
    • Monitor the entire revenue cycle, from claim submission through final payment.
    • Establish and track departmental metrics and key performance indicators.
    • Prepare regular reports for leadership showing billing performance, trends, and areas requiring attention.
    • Monitor accounts receivable aging, claim-submission timeliness, clean-claim rates, denial rates, payment posting, and collection performance.
    • Identify recurring denials, underpayments, workflow problems, and lost-revenue opportunities.
    • Develop corrective action plans and follow through until problems are resolved.
    • Hold team members accountable for productivity, accuracy, and timely follow-up.
    • Review payer issues and escalate unresolved problems appropriately.
    • Maintain effective billing workflows, written procedures, and internal controls.
    • Work collaboratively with physicians, clinical staff, front-desk employees, management, and outside vendors.
    • Help ensure compliance with payer requirements and applicable billing regulations.

    Ideal Candidate

    The ideal candidate is an experienced medical billing professional who has successfully progressed into a genuine leadership role. This person should be comfortable both managing a department and personally working assigned accounts or functions within the revenue cycle.

    A strong biller without proven leadership, reporting, and performance-management experience will not be the right fit for this position.

    Required Qualifications

    • Significant experience in medical billing, collections, or revenue-cycle management.
    • Prior experience supervising or leading a medical billing team.
    • Thorough understanding of the complete physician-practice revenue cycle.
    • Demonstrated ability to track KPIs, analyze results, and produce useful management reports.
    • Strong knowledge of claim submission, payment posting, denials, appeals, accounts receivable follow-up, and payer requirements.
    • Ability to identify problems, determine their causes, and implement lasting solutions.
    • Strong leadership, communication, organization, and follow-through.
    • Ability to manage employees professionally and hold them accountable.
    • Proficiency with practice-management systems, electronic health records, clearinghouses, Microsoft Excel, and reporting tools.
    • Ability and willingness to work full-time at our Metairie office.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience managing billing for a multi-provider medical practice.
    • Familiarity with Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, Medicare Advantage, and Workers’ Compensation billing.
    • Experience with Modernizing Medicine and TriZetto.
    • Experience creating dashboards, monthly revenue-cycle reports, or provider-level performance reports.
    • Knowledge of podiatry or surgical billing is helpful but not required.

    What Success Looks Like

    The successful Billing Manager will create a well-organized, accountable department in which:

    • Claims are submitted accurately and promptly.
    • Denials and aging accounts receive consistent follow-up.
    • Team members understand their responsibilities and meet defined expectations.
    • Problems are identified and corrected before they become significant.
    • Leadership receives accurate, timely, and actionable reports.
    • Department performance improves based on measurable results.
