In my previous roles, I have managed billing and collections processes by ensuring claims are submitted correctly and follow up regularly on unpaid invoices. I believe effective communication and organization are key in managing this aspect of revenue cycle management.

I double-check all submitted information against client accounts and payer requirements. I also maintain a keen eye for detail when drafting invoices and run through comprehensive checklists before final submission.

When dealing with denied claims, I start by investigating the denial reasons provided by the payer. I then collaborate with the medical staff to clarify any discrepancies, make necessary adjustments, and resubmit the claims in a timely manner.

I regularly review updates from insurance companies and participate in training workshops to remain current with billing practices and payment guidelines, ensuring compliance with state regulations.

I have experience using several medical billing software programs such as Kareo and AdvancedMD, alongside proficiency in Microsoft Excel for analyzing billing reports and maintaining accurate records.

I prioritize my tasks by creating a daily to-do list that outlines essential functions based on deadlines and urgency. This method allows me to focus on high-priority accounts while maintaining overall efficiency.

In one instance, an insurance company was disputing a billing claim. I calmly addressed their concerns by providing clear documentation and explanations, which ultimately led to a resolution favorable to both parties.

The most challenging aspect is managing timelines for payments while navigating complex insurance policies. However, I find that thorough documentation and persistent follow-ups can help mitigate many of these challenges.

I adhere strictly to all HIPAA guidelines by limiting access to sensitive patient information to those who need it for processing. Regular training and reminders are instrumental in maintaining compliance in the workplace.

I am motivated by the opportunity to positively impact a healthcare organization by ensuring timely payments that allow us to continue providing services. The challenge of problem-solving in billing also excites me.
