[Hiring] Payment Integrity Specialist @Council Capital

Role Description

As a Payment Integrity Specialist, you live in the claims data. You audit payer claims across multiple lines of business, identify improper payments, and quantify the dollars you recover. This is an individual-contributor role for someone who is energized by a clear, measurable target and who takes pride in the accuracy of every finding.

• Audit payer claims across multiple lines of business (commercial, FEP, Medicaid, Medicare) to identify improper payments and recovery opportunities.
• Analyze claims data in depth to determine root causes of improper payments and build defensible audit findings.
• Meet or exceed a monthly dollars-identified goal once assigned to a client (goal is set per client and audit type; expect a ramp during onboarding).
• Maintain a high quality standard on all identified dollars, minimizing false positives so findings hold up under client review.
• Generate new audit concepts and recovery ideas from patterns you see in the data (target of at least one new concept per month).
• Support key stakeholders with on-time client deliverables, including audit results and documentation.
• Apply payment integrity and claims-processing knowledge across different payers and claim systems as engagements shift.
• Contribute to the team's shared knowledge (trends, methods, and audit playbooks) as our capabilities grow.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience at a payer or a payment integrity / audit vendor.
• Hands-on experience with claims processing and payment integrity auditing.
• Exposure across multiple lines of business (commercial, FEP, Medicaid, Medicare); breadth is preferred over depth in a single line.
• Strong analytical instincts: you find the significant problem in the data and work it to root cause.
• Comfort with Excel and general software; you learn new claims systems quickly (system-specific training is provided per client).
• A track record of hitting metric-driven, time-bound goals and staying composed under a monthly target.
• High integrity and sound judgment; you make the call on findings and stand behind them.
• Self-direction and ownership; you do not need to be managed through your queue.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. and U.S.-based (this role handles PHI and cannot be performed offshore).

Requirements

• Prior payment integrity auditing specifically (vs. general claims auditing).
• Experience generating audit concepts / recovery ideas.
