Lead Billing Strategy & Systems Analyst (Remote)

The Billing Strategy & Systems Analyst at will play a critical role in driving strategic initiatives and day-to-day operational insights across Revenue Cycle Management (RCM).

• Develop and deliver executive-level presentation decks to communicate findings, operational KPIs, and recommendations to leadership. 

Workflow Auditing & Operational Strategy 

• Perform audits in systems like AdvancedMD and Salesforce to connect SOPs and workflows to real-world data behavior. 

• Identify workflow gaps and recommend improvements based on system configurations, audit results, and reimbursement outcomes. 

• Act as a strategic partner to leadership by “telling the story” through data — bridging operations and data insights to guide decision-making. 

Revenue Cycle Subject Matter Expertise 

• Serve as the internal SME on RCM processes, particularly around eligibility, pre-registration, pre-access, payer policy, and reimbursement requirements. 

• Ensure billing workflows are set up to yield clean claims on the front end and maximize reimbursement on the back end. 

• Interpret payer contracts, manage denial trends, and develop strategies to increase collection efficiency and reduce rework. 

System Optimization & Technology Implementation 

• Lead billing system configuration efforts and support the setup of new processes and workflows within various systems, tools and portals. 

• Vet and implement new vendors and tools (e.g., claim scrubbing, FrontRunnerHC) to support automated claim processes and data quality. 

• Conduct QA and QC reviews of configuration changes, claim logic, and EMR setups to ensure billing accuracy. 

• Assist with the implementation and optimization of EDI processes (e.g., 271 eligibility responses). 

Required Qualifications: 

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Health Informatics, Data Science, or related field (Master's preferred). 

• Minimum 8 years of experience in healthcare billing, RCM operations, or payer strategy—ideally with lab billing experience. 

• Expert-level knowledge of SQL, Snowflake, Excel, and Power BI (including dashboard development). 

• Proven ability to create clean, compelling presentations and data visualizations for executive audiences. 

• Ideally will have hands-on experience with AdvancedMD, Salesforce, EMRs, and payer portals. 

• Strong understanding of eligibility workflows, pre-access, payer policy, denial management, and claims adjudication. 

• Experience with billing system configuration, vendor vetting, and automating claims processes. 

• Familiarity with FrontRunnerHC, EDI automation, and healthcare tech integration best practices. 

Preferred Attributes: 

• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. 

• Curious, tech-savvy, and driven to constantly improve systems and workflows.
