Why This Role Matters
The Medical Claims Data Entry Specialist is the backbone of our Accounts Receivable (A/R) team. By transforming raw claim information into actionable data, you help ensure that providers receive timely reimbursement, patients understand their financial responsibilities, and insurers process claims accurately. Your work directly influences cash flow, reduces denial rates, and supports the overall health‑care delivery experience.

- Payer Communication & Follow‑up: Initiate and maintain professional contact with insurance payers to ascertain claim status, resolve denials, and negotiate partial payments. Document each interaction promptly in the customer’s electronic account.
- Requirements Gathering: Obtain and verify payer-specific adjudication guidelines, ensuring that each claim meets the precise criteria for timely payment.
- Accounts Receivable Management: Review, adjust, and update A/R records based on correspondence from insurers, including posting payments, applying adjustments, and correcting discrepancies.

- Customer Service Support: Respond to internal and external A/R inquiries via phone and email, delivering clear, courteous, and solution‑focused assistance.
- Report Management: Generate, review, and reconcile assigned RBCO (Revenue, Billing, Collections, & Operations) reports, flagging anomalies for senior review.
- Team Collaboration: Provide guidance to other PAC (Patient Access Coordinator) teams, sharing best practices and assisting with complex collection queries.
