Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Department: Patient Financial Services (SPARC) (maybe mention)
- Position: Revenue Cycle Representative (RCR) entry-level financial services in Patient Billing Services (PBS)
- Work environment: fast paced, high pressure, high-volume incoming/outbound call, face-to-face financial counseling.
- Responsibilities: list many bullet-like sentences.
Let's extract responsibilities as list items.
Responsibilities (from "Position Responsibilities" section):
- Analyze and verify patient demographic, insurance eligibility and financial information/responsibility for accurate claim submission and reimbursement.
- Resolve patient billing account concerns in order to obtain appropriate reimbursement and patient satisfaction in partnership with PFS management, Iowa Health Care Patient Representatives and Iowa Health Care Clinical Teams.
- Provide financial counseling to patients and families to ensure they are advised of their financial obligations, with appropriate financial arrangements made according to the hospital’s financial policy.
- Initiate action regarding the management and adjudication of patient account billing and all other customer concerns and inquiries.
- Document, correct and assure the accurate information is in the patient billing system.
- Take payments, establish payment arrangements, counsel, and coordinate available financial assistance with patient as necessary.
- Verify eligibility of benefits, patient liability and non-covered exceptions; confirm all steps necessary have been taken to adjudicate claims and billing while providing outstanding customer service.
- Resolves statement edits to ensure correct and timely billing occurs.
- Contacts appropriate third-party payers in order to verify eligibility of benefits, patient liability, non-covered exceptions.
- Be expected to maintain a high-level of accuracy to meet productivity and quality requirements.
- Communicate with providers, payers, patients, internal departments, co-workers, and Coordinator’s to resolve issues.
- Maintain extensive knowledge and expertise based around payer regulations/policies, financial classifications, and financial assistance programs.
- Build and maintain solid working relationships with clinical staff, referral sources, insurance companies, medical providers and public.
Also earlier description: "RCR’s will financially counsel patients as it applies to their healthcare accounts, provide patient estimates, collect appropriate self-pay balances, establish payment arrangements, and counsel patients on financial assistance. Resolve customer, staff, and public inquiries, and take appropriate follow-up action. Provide consistent and comprehensive information in writing, and verbally to patients, outside agencies and various administrative and management personnel regarding all third parties, patient billing and financial counseling activities. The PBS RCR must have the ability to exhibit compassion and empathy when working directly with patients and/or their families. In addition, this person must have an ability to prioritize and coordinate inquiries and concerns of patients, staff, administration and public in a varied professional and patient population."
These could be part of responsibilities or about the role.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have schedule: Monday - Friday, 0800 - 1700 (from Classification Title block). Also mention hybrid remote work: primarily combination remote and onsite (hybrid). Remote work must be performed at an offsite location within the State of Iowa. Training ONSITE at HSSB building. Remote eligibility evaluated upon satisfactory job training. Must comply with remote work program.
Pay: Pay Grade: 2B. Also "Compensation Pay Level: 2B". No specific salary figure. Since we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states Pay Grade: 2B, Compensation Pay Level: 2B. That is a pay level but not a numeric salary. Is that considered "specific content"? It says "Pay Grade: 2B". That is specific. We could include Pay section with that info. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Pay Grade and Schedule. So we can include Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits section.
About the role: Could summarize the role description: entry-level financial services position in Patient Billing Services, hybrid remote/onsite, responsibilities etc. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can include a short paragraph that captures the role description without losing detail? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all substantive info, but we can still have a prose paragraph that includes the info, not summarizing away. However if we put all details in Responsibilities and Requirements etc, About the role could be a brief overview that doesn't omit details but just repeats some? Might be okay as long as we don't omit any substantive info elsewhere. The About the role could be a short paragraph that mentions it's an entry-level RCR in PBS, hybrid remote/onsite, primary duties etc. But we must ensure we don't lose any substantive info that is not covered elsewhere. Since we will list responsibilities and requirements etc, we can keep About the role brief but still include some info not duplicated? Might be okay.
Better: Use About the role to include the narrative about mission, values, department description, etc. That is substantive and not repeated elsewhere. The posting includes: "The University of Iowa Health Care — recognized as one of the best hospitals in the United States—is Iowa's only comprehensive academic medical center and a regional referral center. Each day more than 12,000 employees, students, and volunteers work together to provide safe, quality health care and excellent service for our patients. Simply stated, our mission is: Changing Medicine. Changing Lives.® WE CARE Core Values ..." That's substantive and not elsewhere. So we can put that in About the role.

Responsibilities: list as - .
Requirements: maybe education requirement and required qualifications? The posting has "Education Requirement Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience." and "Required Qualifications" list. Also "Desirable Qualifications". We could split: Requirements = Education Requirement + Required Qualifications. Qualifications = Desirable Qualifications? Or we could treat Requirements as required qualifications, Qualifications as desirable. But we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications. We'll put education requirement under Requirements maybe. Or we could put education under Requirements and required qualifications under Qualifications? Let's decide:
- Requirements: Education Requirement + Required Qualifications (the must-haves).
- Qualifications: Desirable Qualifications (nice-to-have).
Skills: Could be derived from required qualifications like proficiency with Microsoft Office, communication skills, etc. But we already have those in Required Qualifications. Might be redundant. However we need to include Skills section only if there is real specific content for it. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; but we could extract skills from qualifications. But that would be summarizing/inventing? Might be okay to list skills as bullet points derived from qualifications. But instruction: "Do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we take the qualifications and put them under Skills, we are not inventing, just re categorizing. However we might be duplicating content. Safer to not include Skills section if we already covered those under Requirements/Qualifications. But we need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine.
We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. That's six sections. Benefits omitted. Skills omitted.
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
