Billing Specialist & Hospital Admissions

Open and close the office daily, admitting overflow MCMC patients including IP, OP, Swing Bed, Lab, Radiology, Physical Therapy, and Emergency Room. Act as the telephone and facility back-up receptionist, keeping the front desk covered at all times. Complete admissions by verifying coverage and entering demographic information, then correct any necessary entries in the STAR billing system. Collect and process copays, submit 1500 and UB paper claims to the Indian Health Service, and handle electronic claims for select payers. Assist with billing inquiries, payer credentialing, and month-end processes for Swing Bed patients while maintaining petty cash and ensuring patient confidentiality.
