Key Responsibilities

  • Assess current denials processes, workflows, and performance.

  • Lead denials-related projects and initiatives from planning through implementation.

  • Monitor project deliverables and ensure initiatives remain on track.
  • Evaluate denial data and develop actionable recommendations for improvement.
  • Partner with operational leaders and revenue cycle stakeholders to implement process improvements.
  • Identify opportunities to improve workflows, payer processes, authorization practices, coding, billing, and other upstream factors contributing to denials.
  • Support the development and implementation of denial prevention strategies.
  • Track key performance indicators and measure the impact of improvement initiatives.
  • Assist with developing standard operating procedures, workflows, and process documentation.
  • Provide subject matter expertise related to revenue cycle denials and best practices.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations effectively to both operational and executive-level stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of healthcare revenue cycle experience, with significant experience in denials management.
  • Strong knowledge of the end-to-end revenue cycle and denials management process.
  • Demonstrated experience identifying denial trends and performing root-cause analysis.
  • Experience developing and implementing denial prevention and reduction strategies.
  • Project management experience required.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple project workstreams, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience working with revenue cycle data, reporting, and performance metrics.
  • Strong understanding of payer requirements and denial/appeal processes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a consulting environment while effectively collaborating with client teams.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to communicate complex revenue cycle issues and recommendations to executive and operational stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience leading revenue cycle transformation or optimization projects.
  • Experience working with large health systems or complex healthcare organizations.
  • Experience with Epic or other major EHR/PM systems.
  • Formal project management certification such as PMP, CAPM, or equivalent is a plus.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
