• Serve as a billing point of contact for families, explaining insurance processing, copays, deductibles, and balances with empathy and clarity.
• Assist with self-pay billing, patient statement cycles, and individualized payment plans.
• Support accounts receivable monitoring through reporting, reconciliation, and audit-related activities.
• Use billing and financial reports to help manage daily workflows and prioritize follow-up tasks.
• Partner with Patient Experience, Authorization & Eligibility, and clinical teams to help resolve coverage questions and support billing education.
