Medical Billing & Insurance Credentialing Specialist
Nutritional Weight & Wellness · St Paul, MN · 1 mo ago
HybridFull-time
About the role
We're bringing insurance billing in-house and need a skilled billing and credentialing specialist to own it. You'll work inside Healthie (HER) and ClaimMD (EDI) — modern tools that handle a lot of the heavy lifting — but this role still requires a sharp, experienced person who knows how to read a denial, fix a claim, credential a provider, and talk to a client about their benefits without making their eyes glaze over.
What You'll Own
- Submitting claims from Healthie to ClaimMD and staying on top of what comes back
- Resolving denied or rejected claims — ClaimMD surfaces the reason codes, you take it from there (corrections, resubmissions, or formal appeals)
- Eligibility verification before appointments — ClaimMD covers most payers; you'll handle the rest through payer portals
- Invoicing clients for copays and coinsurance once the insurance payment is received
- Managing accounts receivable and following up on aging balances
- Tracking referral requirements and coordinating with clients and referring providers when needed
- Handling prior authorizations for the occasional plan that requires it (not common for MNT, but it does come up with some Medicaid and HMO plans)
- Credentialing new providers and keeping everything current — CAQH profiles, revalidations, payer enrollments, expiring documents
- Being the person the front desk staff, clients and providers turn to when they have an insurance question — and actually helping them understand the answer
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of medical billing experience (nutrition or wellness setting is a bonus)
- ClaimMD or equivalent clearinghouse experience
- Solid CPT/ICD-10 coding knowledge, especially MNT codes (97802, 97803, 97804)
- Credentialing experience — CAQH, payer enrollment, the whole process
- Comfortable with payer portals (Availity, NaviNet, etc.)
- A communicator who can explain insurance in plain English
- Someone who runs their own work, hits their own deadlines, and doesn't need to be managed
What You'll Get
- A team that actually respects your personal time
- Recognition for the work you do — in a small practice, good work doesn't go unnoticed
- Room to make this role your own and improve how things run
- Competitive pay based on your experience
- Health Insurance, Paid Time Off, 401K, Life Insurance, Employee Discount
Flexible work from home options available.
