About the Role

We are looking for a highly organized, experienced, and accountable RCM Team Lead to oversee day-to-day revenue cycle operations across multiple healthcare clients.

This is not a basic billing role. This position requires someone who can manage teams, monitor productivity, control backlogs, reduce denials, resolve escalations, enforce SOPs, and keep operations running smoothly without constant supervision.

The ideal candidate must have strong hands-on experience in medical billing, payment posting, claim rejections, denials, AR follow-up, credentialing coordination, productivity management, and client reporting.

The main goal of this role is to make sure the operation runs smoothly, work is completed on time, team members are held accountable, and client issues are identified and resolved before they become major problems.

Key Responsibilities

1. Daily Operations Management

Oversee daily operations for billing, payment posting, rejection management, denial management, AR follow-up, credentialing follow-up, and patient billing support.
Monitor daily work queues by client, payer, team member, and process.
Ensure all claims, rejections, denials, payments, and AR follow-ups are completed within defined turnaround times.
Identify operational bottlenecks and take corrective action quickly.
Make sure no process depends on the business owner for routine follow-up or escalation.

2. Team Management & Accountability

Manage billing/posting team lead, denial team lead, claim status checker, EDI rejection specialist, credentialing specialist, coding support, and other RCM staff as assigned.
Assign daily priorities and ensure team leads distribute work properly.
Review daily productivity reports and identify low performance, training gaps, or lack of ownership.
Hold team members accountable for productivity, quality, attendance, and timely completion of assigned work.
Escalate repeated performance issues to HR and leadership with proper documentation.

3. KPI, SLA & Dashboard Management

Create and maintain daily and weekly operational dashboards.
Track key metrics including:
Charge lag
Claim submission volume
Rejection volume and aging
Denial volume and aging
AR aging
Payment posting lag
Unposted payments
Unapplied payments
Appeals submitted
Claims pending client/provider response
Credentialing pending items
Ensure all departments meet defined SLAs and productivity targets.
Prepare weekly leadership reports and monthly client performance summaries.

4. Rejection, Denial & AR Control

Monitor rejection and denial trends by payer, provider, CPT, modifier, location, and root cause.
Ensure rejections are reviewed and corrected daily.
Ensure denials are worked with proper documentation, appeal action, payer follow-up, and next follow-up date.
Review top denial reasons and implement corrective action plans.
Work with billing, coding, credentialing, and client teams to prevent recurring issues.

5. Payment Posting & Reimbursement Oversight

Ensure ERAs, EOBs, and manual payments are posted accurately and timely.
Monitor unposted payments, unapplied cash, credit balances, and payment discrepancies.
Identify underpayments, incorrect adjustments, payer processing issues, and posting errors.
Ensure payment posting is reconciled properly with deposits and remittance records.

6. SOP, Process Improvement & Quality Control

Create, update, and enforce SOPs for billing, posting, rejections, denials, AR, credentialing, and client communication.
Perform QA reviews on team work to identify errors and training needs.
Build repeatable workflows so the company can scale to more clients without operational breakdown.
Recommend automation, reporting improvements, and workflow changes where needed.

7. Client & Escalation Management

Act as the first level of operational escalation before issues reach the business owner.
Track all client/provider issues with owner, due date, status, and next action.
Prepare clear updates for leadership and clients.
Ensure client requests are acknowledged, assigned, followed up, and closed timely.
Escalate only high-risk issues involving revenue loss, client dissatisfaction, compliance concerns, or staffing problems.
