Reviewed accounts and insurance payments; aligned customers with financial assistance programs for costly infusions, injections, and medications.
Processed applications for financial assistance programs, collaborated with customers and providers' offices to gather necessary information, and ensured all prerequisites were met before submitting for processing.
I have reviewed the accounts and submitted all required documents to the financial assistance program for reimbursement.
Generated estimates before appointments and contacted customers in compliance with the federal No Surprises Act. Provided customers with estimates, discussed details, and arranged payment options.
Prior to customer appointments, I reviewed their accounts to ensure compliance with the company's financial policies. Based on the circumstances, I either arranged a payment plan or provided details about available financial assistance.
I review insurance claims and Explanations of Benefits for customers who need clarification on reimbursements. I resolve errors and ensure that claims are resubmitted to insurance companies. If necessary, I appeal claims and follow up with the insurance company.
