About this role
Ascension's Nashville billing office is looking for someone to manage the insurance and financial side of patient care. In this in-office role, you'll verify coverage, secure pre-authorizations for procedures, determine what patients owe, and flag any gaps between what's authorized and what's being requested. You'll be the bridge between patients, practitioners, and insurance companies, explaining financial responsibility and keeping everyone informed about coverage issues.
The work is detail-oriented and documentation-heavy—you'll maintain thorough records in patient accounts and reconcile claims daily. A high school diploma or one year of relevant billing or insurance experience qualifies you; no special certification is required. If you're organized, comfortable with insurance processes, and able to communicate clearly with both clinical and administrative staff, this full-time position at a major nonprofit health system offers a straightforward entry or mid-level path in healthcare billing.
