Manager, Patient Accounts - Department of Medicine - Business Office
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
Given posting: Location St. Louis, MO 63110, Scheduled Hours 40, Position Summary, Job Description with Primary Duties & Responsibilities list, Working Conditions, Education: Required Qualifications, Certifications/Professional Licenses, Work Experience, Skills, More About This Job, Education: Preferred Qualifications, etc. Also Salary Range, Benefits Statement.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not given). No Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out EEO statement, accommodation, pre-employment screening, benefits statement? Actually benefits statement is substantive, we need to include Benefits section. The benefits statement includes details: Up to 22 days vacation, 10 holidays, sick time, health insurance, Metro transit U-Pass, 403(b) retirement, wellness, family leave, tuition benefits. We should keep that.
Pay: Salary Range $75,200 - $128,800 annually. So include Pay section.
Schedule: Scheduled Hours 40 (full-time). So include Schedule section.
About the role: Position Summary: "Position manages account posting and/or receivable and collection activities of department to maximize income from services rendered. Provides reporting on accounts reimbursement and/or A/R activity, income budget forecasting and implements service orientation for patient accounts office." That's about the role.
Responsibilities: Primary Duties & Responsibilities list (multiple bullet points). We'll put those as - .
Requirements: Might be Education Required Qualifications? Actually "Education: Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree or combination of education and/or experience may substitute for minimum education." Also Certifications/Professional Licenses: none required. Work Experience: Supervisory (5 Years). Skills: Not Applicable. Driver's License: not required. Also Working Conditions maybe part of Requirements? But we can treat Requirements as education, experience, certifications, etc.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's degree, etc. Also Skills: list of preferred skills: Accounting, Analytical Thinking, Detail-Oriented, Identifying Trends, Interpersonal Communication, Oral Communications, Organizing, Patient Account Management, Problem Solving, Self Motivation, Supervisory Management, Trend Analysis, Trend Reporting, Written Communication.
We need to decide sections: About the role (Position Summary). Responsibilities (Primary Duties). Requirements (Education Required, Certifications, Work Experience, Driver's License maybe). Qualifications (Preferred Education, Preferred Skills). Skills maybe separate? But we already have Skills in Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for Skills as a separate section if there is content. We could put Skills under Qualifications or separate. Since we have both Required Skills (Not Applicable) and Preferred Skills list, we could have a Skills section for the preferred skills. However we also have a Skills line under Required Qualifications: "Skills: Not Applicable". That's not substantive; we should not create a Skills section with filler. So we should only include Skills section if there is real specific content. The preferred skills list is substantive. So we can have a Skills section with that list.
Qualifications could contain education and experience preferences. But we already have Education and Work Experience under Requirements (required). Preferred qualifications could go under Qualifications.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Position Summary)
- Responsibilities (Primary Duties & Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Education Required, Certifications/Professional Licenses, Work Experience, Driver's License)
- Qualifications (Preferred Education, Preferred Certifications? none, Preferred Work Experience? none)
- Skills (Preferred Skills list)
- Benefits (Benefits Statement)
- Pay (Salary Range)
- Schedule (Scheduled Hours 40)
We need to ensure we don't include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, all details from benefits, etc.
We need to format as HTML fragment only, no or . Use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not present). Avoid Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation, pre-employment screening, questions, etc. Also remove "More About This Job WashU seeks highly motivated individuals..." maybe that's part of About the role? Actually "More About This Job WashU seeks highly motivated individuals who are able to perform duties in a manner consistent with our core mission and guiding principles." That's a bit fluffy but could be considered part of About the role. However it's generic; but we could include it as part of About the role if we want to preserve all substantive info. It's not boilerplate; it's a statement about mission. Might be considered substantive. We'll include it in About the role paragraph.
Also "Education: Preferred Qualifications Bachelor's degree Certifications/Professional Licenses: No additional certification/professional licenses unless stated elsewhere in the job posting." That's basically same as required? We'll include under Qualifications.
Also "Work Experience: No additional work experience unless stated elsewhere in the job posting." That's filler; we can ignore.
Now let's extract details.
Location and Scheduled Hours: Location St. Louis, MO 63110; Scheduled Hours 40. We'll put location maybe in About the role? Or we could include location in a short paragraph under About the role or maybe as a separate meta? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and scheduled hours in a short
under About the role or maybe as a separate meta paragraph before sections. Since we need a section only when there is real specific content. Location and hours are minor metadata; we can include them in a short
under About the role or maybe as a separate
before sections. But we should not create a heading for them. We'll include them in a
after the About the role heading? Actually About the role heading is for section; we can have a
containing location and hours plus the position summary. That seems okay.
Thus:
About the role
Location: St. Louis, MO 63110. Scheduled Hours: 40 per week. Position manages account posting and/or receivable and collection activities of department to maximize income from services rendered. Provides reporting on accounts reimbursement and/or A/R activity, income budget forecasting and implements service orientation for patient accounts office. WashU seeks highly motivated individuals who are able to perform duties in a manner consistent with our core mission and guiding principles.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points.
We need to extract each duty from "Primary Duties & Responsibilities:" line.
The text:
"Develops and maintains systems for account management, data entry, collections and general operations of Accounts Receivable (A/R).Develops income projections and long range plans for obtaining them.Provides monthly income, cost center and ad hoc reporting to Business Manager.Maintains environment and training opportunity compatible with growth and development of staff.Oversees office staffing, ensuring appropriate staffing levels.Provides managerial guidance to assistant managers to meet monthly/annual goals.Maintains and updates master fee schedule.Prepares and monitors patient accounts annual income and expense budget under direction of Business Manager.Serves as liaison to third party payers, vendors, medical center personnel, patients and/or their families in problem situations when necessary.Assists with the development of A/R charge and collection policies.Assists with contract negotiations with third-party payers.Assists supervisors in recruiting personnel needed."
We need to split into separate items. Each sentence seems separated by a period but no spaces after periods? Actually there is no space after period before next sentence. We'll split by periods.
List:
- Develops and maintains systems for account management, data entry, collections and general operations of Accounts Receivable (A/R).
- Develops income projections and long range plans for obtaining them.
- Provides monthly income, cost center and ad hoc reporting to Business Manager.
- Maintains environment and training opportunity compatible with growth and development of staff.
- Oversees office staffing, ensuring appropriate staffing levels.
- Provides managerial guidance to assistant managers to meet monthly/annual goals.
- Maintains and updates master fee schedule.
- Prepares and monitors patient accounts annual income and expense budget under direction of Business Manager.
- Serves as liaison to third party payers, vendors, medical center personnel, patients and/or their families in problem situations when necessary.
- Assists with the development of A/R charge and collection policies.
- Assists with contract negotiations with third-party payers.
- Assists supervisors in recruiting personnel needed.
We'll put each as - .
Now Requirements section.
Education Required: "Bachelor’s degree or combination of education and/or experience may substitute for minimum education."
Certifications/Professional Licenses: "No specific certification/professional license is required for this position."
Work Experience: "Supervisory (5 Years)"
Skills: "Not Applicable" (skip as filler)
Driver's License: "A driver's license is not required for this position."
We could also include Working Conditions? But that's not a requirement; maybe we could include under Requirements? But we have no separate section for Working Conditions; we could drop it as minor metadata? It's not boilerplate but it's about working conditions. Could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate section? The instruction only lists specific headings; we shouldn't create extra headings. So we can fold Working Conditions into a short
under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably better to include under Requirements as a short note.
But we need to preserve all substantive information. Working Conditions includes: "Job Location/Working Conditions: Normal office environment. Physical Effort: Typically sitting at desk or table.Repetitive wrist, hand or finger movement (PC Typing). Equipment: Office equipment." That's substantive. We'll include that as a
under Requirements.
Thus Requirements section will have multiple
paragraphs: education, certifications, work experience, driver's license, working conditions.
Now Qualifications section: Preferred Qualifications.
Education: Preferred Qualifications Bachelor's degree
Certifications/Professional Licenses: "No additional certification/professional licenses unless stated elsewhere in the job posting." That's basically none; we could note that no additional certs preferred.
Work Experience: "No additional work experience unless stated elsewhere in the job posting." That's filler; we can ignore.
We could also include "More About This Job" but we already used.
Thus Qualifications section will have education preferred (Bachelor's degree) and maybe note that no additional certs/experience preferred.
But we should avoid filler like "No additional certification/professional licenses unless stated elsewhere". That's somewhat filler but it's still a statement; we could include it as a note that no additional certs preferred. However it's basically saying none required; we could omit as it's not adding value. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that count as substantive? It's stating that there are no additional preferred certs. Might be considered substantive but it's basically a negative. I'd lean to include it briefly.
Similarly for work experience: "No additional work experience unless stated elsewhere" - also negative.
We could include a short line: "Preferred: Bachelor's degree; no additional certifications or experience required beyond those stated." But we must not invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may be considered summarizing away detail? The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should not combine or summarize; we should preserve the exact statements. So we need to keep the exact phrases.
Thus we can have:
Education: Preferred Qualifications Bachelor's degree
Certifications/Professional
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not present). Avoid Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation, pre-employment screening, questions, etc. Also remove "More About This Job WashU seeks highly motivated individuals..." maybe that's part of About the role? Actually "More About This Job WashU seeks highly motivated individuals who are able to perform duties in a manner consistent with our core mission and guiding principles." That's a bit fluffy but could be considered part of About the role. However it's generic; but we could include it as part of About the role if we want to preserve all substantive info. It's not boilerplate; it's a statement about mission. Might be considered substantive. We'll include it in About the role paragraph.
Also "Education: Preferred Qualifications Bachelor's degree Certifications/Professional Licenses: No additional certification/professional licenses unless stated elsewhere in the job posting." That's basically same as required? We'll include under Qualifications.

Avoid Job ID etc. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation, pre-employment screening, questions, etc. Also remove "More About This Job WashU seeks highly motivated individuals..." maybe that's part of About the role?
