- Team Communication: Weekly outreach for any items that are blocking billing must be completed in a professional and timely manner.
- Compliance: Maintain strict confidentiality and adhere to HIPAA regulations and, if applicable, CMS guidelines.
- Data Integrity: Maintain a 100% accuracy between codes assigned and documented time, ensuring every interaction is documented for clinical continuity and reimbursement.
- Startup Agility: Assist the Revenue Cycle and Operations teams in testing new workflows, documenting "what works," and taking on special projects as the company scales.
