Field Reimbursement Manager - Mid-Atlantic
About the role
This is a fast-paced, field-embedded commercial role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, earns trust with sales teams quickly, and pivots between complex customer problems daily. You bring deep reimbursement expertise—but your real value is how you deploy it: as a strategic partner to our commercial team and a trusted advisor to providers and health systems.
Responsibilities
- Operate as the embedded reimbursement expert within the commercial field team—a trusted partner who enables sales success, not an oversight function.
- Attend strategic customer calls to address complex coding, billing, and access concerns, positioning Heartflow as a consultative resource.
- Prioritize identifying facilities needing reimbursement support and developing strategies to address barriers.
- Educate the commercial team on coding updates, billing trends, and payer developments, ensuring the entire field organization is aligned and informed.
- Partner with field team members and customers to serve as the primary reimbursement support for providers and hospital billing and administrative leadership.
- Conduct onsite visits and remote consultations to educate customers on appropriate billing scenarios, documentation requirements, and payment components.
- Optimize prior authorization workflows and claims appeals processes, maximizing reimbursement success and reducing administrative burden.
- Partner with customers to review and optimize chargemaster setup, ensuring the services included on the CCTA pathway are accurately reflected for appropriate charge capture and reimbursement.
- Conduct claim reviews to identify patterns, resolve issues, and ensure appropriate reimbursement outcomes.
- Address and support customers in resolving patient coverage, access, and reimbursement questions in coordination with patient services and internal stakeholders.
- Proactively identify gaps in customer-facing and internal educational resources, communicating those needs internally to support timely content development.
- Monitor and communicate payer policy changes, CMS coverage determinations, and market access trends to keep Heartflow’s reimbursement guidance current and competitive.
- Identify, anticipate, and surface systemic reimbursement opportunities and barriers—bringing market intelligence back to the organization to inform strategy and response.
- Maintain deep fluency in payer medical policies, prior authorization trends, and claims adjudication patterns across the Mid-Atlantic region.

- Policy Interpretation: Proven ability to interpret CMS Local and National Coverage Determinations and commercial payer medical policies to accurately identify required documentation and guide billing strategy across any diagnostic modality.
- Market Intelligence: Ability to monitor, synthesize, and act on payer policy changes, coverage trends, and access barriers— and translate those insights into actionable guidance for customers and the internal commercial team.
