• Patient payment collection. Collect patient payments, including balances due, and follow up on outstanding patient accounts with a courteous, solution-focused approach.
• Payment plan management. Set up, document, and monitor payment plans, follow up on missed or late payments, and adjust plans according to company policy.
• Medical records requests. Process medical records requests from patients and authorized parties, verifying authorization and following HIPAA requirements.
• Cross-team collaboration. Partner with the billing, accounts receivable, and other revenue cycle teams to research and resolve account issues, and escalate complex cases appropriately.
• Documentation. Document every patient interaction clearly and completely in our billing system so any team member can pick up an account.
• Continuous improvement. Identify recurring questions or trends in patient inquiries and share feedback to help improve statements, communications, and processes.
• Compliance. Protect patient privacy and follow all HIPAA and company compliance standards.

• Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple accounts, deadlines, and follow-ups.
• Comfort with technology, including billing and practice management systems, email, and spreadsheets, and the ability to learn new tools quickly.
• Good people skills: empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help patients.
• Working knowledge of HIPAA and patient privacy requirements.
• Genuine interest in sleep, health, and helping people better understand and improve their well-being.
• Spanish-speaking (bilingual English/Spanish) is a plus
