Role Summary
The Revenue Cycle Management Specialist is responsible for managing and executing day-to-day revenue cycle activities to ensure accurate billing, timely reimbursement, and regulatory compliance across Avail Health programs. This role supports patient registration, insurance verification, medical coding, claims submission, payment posting, and denial management with commercial FFS payors, Medicare Advantage, traditional Medicare, and includes RCM work specific to GUIDE, CCM, and TCM. This role will also directly support and execute provider-credentialing and enrollment activities considering so much of successful RCM is reliant upon accurate and complete maintenance of provider data.
The RCM Specialist serves as a key operational partner to Clinical Operations, Care Delivery, Finance, and Analytics teams, ensuring that revenue processes align with clinical workflows and organizational goals. This position reports directly to the Vice President of Operations and collaborates closely with internal and external stakeholders.

Minimal travel may be required for team meetings or operational initiatives. Standard business hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, with flexibility required to accommodate payer timelines and month-end close activities.
Position Overview
This is a hands-on revenue cycle role responsible for ensuring end-to-end accuracy and efficiency of Avail Health’s billing and reimbursement processes. The Revenue Cycle Management Specialist supports the full lifecycle of patient accounts—from registration through final payment—while identifying and resolving issues that impact cash flow, compliance, and patient satisfaction.
The RCM Specialist is accountable for maintaining clean claims, reducing denials, improving turnaround time for payments, and collaborating with internal teams to continuously refine billing workflows. This role requires strong attention to detail, payer knowledge (particularly Medicare Advantage), and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
Key Responsibilities
1. Patient Registration, Insurance Verification & Eligibility
Translate clinical services into accurate, compliant medical codes (e.g., ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) in alignment with documentation standards and payer guidelines. Review documentation for completeness and partner with clinical and operations teams to resolve discrepancies that may impact billing accuracy.
2. Medical Coding & Charge Capture
Serve as the primary operational resource for frontline clinical teams, providing real-time support to address day-to-day needs, remove barriers, and maintain continuity of care. Coordinate scheduling and field support for mobile teams, and ensure workflows, tools, and processes enable clinicians to operate effectively. Partner closely with clinical leadership to reinforce expectations, improve throughput, and support high-quality, compliant care delivery.
3. Claims Submission & Billing Execution
Prepare, review, and submit clean, correctly coded claims to Medicare Advantage plans and other payers in a timely manner. Monitor claims through adjudication, identify errors proactively, and ensure claims are processed efficiently to minimize delays in reimbursement.
4. Payment Posting, Reconciliation & Cash Flow Optimization
Post insurance and patient payments accurately, reconcile remittances, and investigate underpayments or variances. Track accounts receivable and follow up on outstanding balances to support consistent cash flow and financial performance.
5. Denial Management, Appeals & Continuous Improvement

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Compliance
Partner with Clinical Operations, Care Delivery, Finance, Quality/Compliance, and Analytics teams to ensure billing workflows align with clinical practices and regulatory requirements.
