What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Biller / Practice Coordinator position at AbendHealth?
About the Role
Are you a skilled Medical Biller who is tired of the corporate grind and "metric-driven" environments? AbendHealth is a unique, family-owned private practice in Rockaway, NJ that is growing fast (Check out our Instagram and Facebook @AbendHealth)! We aren't your "ordinary" medical office - we value a small-team atmosphere, direct communication, and a healthy work-life balance.
We are seeking a Billing-First professional to take ownership of our revenue cycle while coordinating our front-desk operations. You will be the "glue" of our practice, ensuring our patients are cared for and our claims are paid correctly and on time.
What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
- The Priority: Full-cycle revenue management (Claims submission, EDI/ERA monitoring, and aggressive denial management).
- Accounts Receivable: Run monthly aging reports and follow up on outstanding insurance and patient balances.
- Patient Coordination: Manage the daily schedule, answer phones with a friendly "small-town" touch, and check patients in/out.
- Insurance Expert: Perform high-level insurance verification (Navinet/Availity) and explain co-pays/deductibles to patients clearly.
- Office Flow: Work directly with the practice owner and support staff to streamline administrative tasks and maintain a stress-free office environment.
- Credentialing (Secondary / As Needed): Assist with provider credentialing and re-credentialing, maintain CAQH profiles and payer enrollments and track credentialing status and deadlines.
Requirements (Qualifications)
- Billing Mastery: Minimum 2 years of hands-on medical billing experience (required). You must understand NJ commercial payers and Medicare.
- Tech Savvy: Comfortable with EMR/EHR systems and basic office software.
- The "NJ Hustle": A polite but firm personality - someone who enjoys "fighting the good fight" with insurance companies to get claims paid.
- Adaptability: You enjoy a "dual" role and don't mind switching from a billing spreadsheet to a patient phone call.
- High School Diploma or equivalent (Associate's or CPC certification is a plus, but real-world experience is prioritized).
Why You’ll Love Working Here (Benefits)
- Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a hybrid schedule with 2 days remote work - save on gas, tolls, and the NJ commute!
- Retirement Security: We offer a 401(k) plan with employer matching to help you save for the future.
- No Corporate Red Tape: We are family-owned. You report directly to the owner and have a real impact on our growth.
- Paid Time Off: NJ Earned Sick Leave and paid holidays.
- Professional Growth: We value our staff and invest in those who help our practice succeed.
