About The Role:
- We're seeking a Denials Team Lead with hands-on experience across both inpatient and outpatient denials to drive overturns, reduce aged inventory, and prevent recurrence at the root cause.
- You'll lead a pod of denial analysts, set daily priorities, coach for quality and speed, and collaborate with Coding, Charge Entry, Registration, and Payer Relations to improve first-pass yield and cash acceleration.
Key Responsibilities:
Team Leadership & Delivery:
- Lead a team of denial analysts across IP/OP workqueues; plan capacity, assign work, and monitor performance.
- Run daily huddles; set targets for productivity, quality, and TAT; remove blockers and manage escalations.
- Conduct 1:1s, coaching, cross-training, and performance reviews.
Denials Resolution:
- Review EOB/ERA, CARC/RARC codes, payer policies, and medical necessity criteria to build strong appeals.
- Oversee timely filing, resubmissions, corrected claims, and second-level medical appeals.
- Drive overturns on common IP denials (level of care, lack of medical necessity, DRG changes) and OP denials ( bundling, NCCI edits, MUEs, modifiers, prior auth).
Quality, Analytics & Prevention:
- Own team KPIs: denial-to-resolution TAT, aged bucket reduction (- 90/120), first-pass acceptance, and QA.
- Perform root-cause analysis by payer/denial reason/service line; partner with Coding to fix upstream leakage.
- Maintain SOPs and payer playbooks; run calibration with QA.
Compliance & Documentation:
- Ensure HIPAA compliance, accurate account notes, and audit-ready documentation.
- Track and meet payer-specific TATs and timely filing limits.
- Commure is committed to creating and fostering a diverse team.
- We are open to all backgrounds and levels of experience, and believe that great people can always find a place.
- We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to all applicants throughout the application process.
