  • Oversees patient registration, insurance verification, pre-authorization, financial counseling, charity care screening, and Medicaid eligibility assistance.
  • Leads denial management and appeals process; identifies root causes and implements corrective action plans.
  • Coordinates closely with the hospital’s third-party eligibility vendor and financial assistance programs.

  • Minimum 5–7 years of progressive revenue cycle leadership experience, with at least 3 years in a rural or PPS hospital setting.
