A denied claim sitting unresolved for weeks isn't just a number on a spreadsheet. It's a provider waiting on payment and a patient wondering why their bill looks wrong. Getting that claim corrected and paid is quiet work, but it matters more than most job titles let on — and it's exactly what this role is built around.
What This Role Covers
This is a fully remote position handling health insurance billing from start to finish — submitting claims, resolving discrepancies, and following up with insurers until claims are properly paid. You'd be working closely with healthcare providers and internal teams to keep documentation accurate and claims moving without unnecessary delays. Compensation for this position
is $54,241 per year, and applications are open to candidates in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, India, and other international regions.
Your Core Responsibilities
Day-to-day, the work centers on a few key areas:
- Managing health insurance claims from submission through resolution
- Reviewing and correcting billing discrepancies before claims go out the door
- Contacting insurance companies to verify benefits, follow up on pending claims, and push payments along
- Working with providers and internal teams to clarify documentation and confirm coding accuracy
- Preparing and filing appeals for denied or underpaid claims
- Staying current on insurance policy changes, billing codes, and industry regulations
Qualifications and Experience
The requirements here are specific:
- High school diploma or equivalent at minimum; a medical billing and coding certification is a meaningful plus
- At least 2 years of experience in medical billing, healthcare claims processing, or insurance coordination
- Working knowledge of CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding systems
- Familiarity with major payer types, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance plans
- Sharp attention to detail, particularly when reviewing claims for errors before submission
- The discipline to manage your own workload and deadlines in a remote setting
Skills That Help an Application Stand Out
These aren't required, but they're worth mentioning if you have them:
- Experience with specific EHR or practice management systems
- Cases where you pushed a denied claim through to a successful appeal
- Prior work in a HIPAA-regulated environment
- Clear, patient communication skills for handling sensitive billing conversations
- Cross-training in related areas like credentialing or prior authorization

What the Role Includes
Along with the base salary, this position offers:
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- A 401(k) plan with company matching
- Generous paid time off and holiday leave
- A home office stipend to set up your remote workspace
- Mental health and wellness resources, along with ongoing training and certification support
How Work Gets Done Here
You'd be working within core business hours but with some flexibility around how your day is structured. The team stays connected through weekly huddles, monthly virtual town halls, and regular one-on-ones with leadership — enough structure to stay aligned without feeling like constant oversight. Billing work touches many other departments, so clear, timely communication with providers and coworkers matters as much as accuracy in the claims themselves.
Where This Role Can Lead
There's room to grow beyond the base position. Some billing specialists cross-train in related functions, such as credentialing or coding audits. Others take on leadership development opportunities or move internally to other departments as openings arise. Performance is recognized through monthly bonuses and internal recognition, and skill-building sessions are available on an ongoing basis for those who want to keep expanding what they can take on.
Why the Work Matters
Billing errors and delays create real friction for both patients and providers — confusing bills, delayed payments, and unnecessary back-and-forth that pulls focus away from actual care. Getting claims right the first time and fixing them quickly when they're not is a meaningful part of making healthcare administration function as it's supposed to.
How to Apply
Submit a resume along with a short note on your billing or claims experience, including any certifications or systems you've worked with. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and shortlisted candidates will move to a video conversation, followed by a working session built around sample claims scenarios.
