Medical Billing Specialist (Psychiatric RCM) (BBS905)

We're looking for a Medical Billing Specialist (Psychiatric RCM) to own the full revenue cycle for a busy psychiatric and mental health practice.

You will also serve as the primary liaison between the practice and its external billing partners.

This is a full-cycle role. You are not handling one piece of the billing workflow — you are owning the entire RCM process from claim to collection and serving as the primary point of contact for patient billing questions. eClinicalWorks (eCW) experience and recent psychiatric billing experience are hard requirements. If you have 2 or more years of full-cycle psychiatric or behavioral health billing experience, are proficient in eCW, have worked with Medicare, and are HIPAA certified, this role is a strong fit.

Patient Financial Services and Phone Support

• Answer patient questions regarding deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, eligibility, benefits, outstanding balances, payment plans, and billing statements
• Provide patients with copies of billing statements, itemized receipts, and payment histories upon request
• Explain billing information clearly, professionally, and compassionately to patients and families
• Resolve patient billing concerns promptly and escalate complex issues when necessary

Reporting and Performance Monitoring

• Monitor and report on key revenue cycle metrics to management including days in AR, AR aging, clean claim rate, claim submission lag, payment posting timeliness, and patient collection performance
• Prepare accurate billing reports using Excel and other reporting tools
• Flag performance trends and issues to the practice manager proactively

Compliance

• Maintain full compliance with HIPAA requirements, payer guidelines, and all applicable federal and state regulations
• Ensure billing documentation supports medical necessity and payer requirements
• Collaborate with administrative staff and leadership to resolve billing-related concerns and improve operational processes

What You Bring

• At least 2 to 3 years of proven full-cycle medical billing and revenue cycle experience with recent psychiatric or behavioral health billing experience strongly preferred — this is a hard requirement

• Excellent phone etiquette and patient communication skills with the ability to discuss financial matters professionally and compassionately
• Strong reporting skills with proficiency in Excel and other reporting tools
• Highly organized, accurate, and able to manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced environment
• No prior commitments that would conflict with full-time employment and a reliable technical setup for remote work

Nice to Have

• Background in a psychiatric private practice or mental health group practice setting
• Experience managing external billing vendor relationships
