[Hiring] Medical Billing & Coding Team Lead @Winning Assistants

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Medical Billing & Coding Team Lead to take ownership of critical revenue cycle functions while providing leadership, workflow oversight, and secondary office management support.

The ideal candidate has substantial hands-on experience in U.S. medical billing and coding and can independently manage claims, coding, insurance verification, authorizations, denials, appeals, reimbursement follow-up, and patient financial communication.

Because this is a Team Lead role within a small practice, we are looking for someone who can go beyond processing assigned billing tasks. The successful candidate should be comfortable taking ownership of billing operations, identifying issues before they affect revenue, supporting other team members, improving workflows, and serving as a reliable escalation point for billing and operational concerns. Experience in outpatient physical therapy billing and coding is strongly preferred.

  • Appeals and corrected claims
  • Outstanding balance and A/R follow-up
• Working knowledge of Medicare guidelines and commercial payer requirements.
• Strong understanding of the healthcare revenue cycle.
• Experience communicating directly with insurance companies, patients, healthcare providers, and clinical teams.
• Ability to review documentation critically and recognize information that may affect coding or reimbursement.
• Experience working with EHR, practice management, and medical billing platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
• Strong organizational and time-management abilities.
• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to billing accuracy.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines independently in a remote environment.
• Demonstrated professionalism, maturity, reliability, accountability, and sound judgment.
• Ability to take ownership of a critical revenue-cycle function with minimal supervision.

Requirements

• Previous outpatient physical therapy billing and coding experience is highly preferred.
• Familiarity with physical therapy documentation and reimbursement requirements.
• Previous experience in a Senior Medical Biller, Billing Team Lead, RCM Lead, Billing Supervisor, or similar leadership capacity.
• Experience training, mentoring, or providing workflow guidance to billing or administrative team members.
• Medical billing and coding certification or equivalent formal training.
• Previous experience with Jane App is a plus.
