• Verify insurance eligibility and behavioral health or substance use disorder benefits before services are provided
• Use payer portals and phone calls to confirm deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums, network status, limitations, and authorization requirements
• Document verification details accurately and communicate benefits, estimated patient responsibility, and coverage concerns to appropriate teams
• Follow up on discrepancies, coverage changes, and pending verifications within established timelines
• Escalate coverage barriers promptly and maintain organized supporting documentation
• Follow HIPAA and compliance guidelines and support revenue cycle functions as needed

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required
• At least 1 year of experience in insurance verification, patient access, and/or medical billing
• Knowledge of eligibility, benefits, and patient responsibility

Compensation:

The base rate of pay for this position is $22.00 to $24.00 per hour. Actual pay is determined based on a number of job-related factors including skills, education, training, credentials, experience, scope and complexity of role responsibilities, geographic location, performance, and working conditions.
