Charge Analysis Associate
About the role
The Charge Analysis Associate owns the front end of the claim lifecycle for the billing team—daily charge and coding audits, clean claim submission, and resolving claim system/clearinghouse rejections before they become timely-filing problems. Reporting to the Director of Revenue Cycle Management, this role's coding accuracy directly determines how many claims get denied downstream. This is one of the highest-leverage roles on the billing team: errors here cascade into the AR and denial-management workload for the rest of the team, while getting it right keeps claims moving cleanly from submission to payment.
Responsibilities
- Perform daily charge audits, reviewing clinical documentation for accurate CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS code assignment.
- Verify charges align with payer-specific billing rules and medical necessity requirements before submission.
- Identify and correct coding discrepancies proactively, before claims go out.
- Submit clean claims daily through Apero and the clearinghouse.
- Monitor claim system and clearinghouse rejection queues; research and resolve rejections promptly to avoid timely-filing exposure.
- Correct and resubmit rejected claims, tracking each through to acceptance.
- Stay current on coding updates, payer policy changes, and industry regulations.
- Collaborate with Medical Billing Associates and the Medical Billing Team Lead on recurring coding or rejection patterns.
Requirements
- Minimum 3 years of experience in medical billing and coding within a healthcare setting.
- Strong understanding of coding standards (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS), claim submission workflows, and clearinghouse rejection handling.
- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in code assignment.
- Experience with Apero or similar clearinghouse/practice management software preferred.
- Experience in Sleep Medicine and/or DME billing strongly preferred.
- Professional coding certification (CPC, CCS, RHIT, or RHIA) a plus but not required.
Qualifications
- Genuine interest in sleep, health, and helping people better understand and improve their well-being.
Skills
- Attention to detail.
- Accuracy in code assignment.
- Clear communication skills.
- Problem-solving abilities.
