[Hiring] Medical Billing Virtual Assistant @Virtual Rockstar

Role Description

This is a remote position. Virtual Rockstar is hiring a full-time Medical Billing Virtual Assistant on behalf of our client — a rapidly growing home-based healthcare organization headquartered in Arkansas.

This role is primarily a billing role. The ideal candidate will have genuine, hands-on experience with Athena EMR and full-cycle medical billing — claims submission, follow-up, and prior authorization — and must be able to demonstrate this experience clearly, as previous candidates have claimed Athena expertise they did not actually have. This is a billing-first role requiring someone who can come in and execute from day one.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced medical biller who genuinely knows Athena EMR inside and out and wants to make a real impact supporting a mission-driven home healthcare organization.

  • Accurately enter, review, and update billing and claims data within Athena EMR
  • Maintain organized records of all billing communication and claim status
  • Communicate with providers and staff via Microsoft Teams for updates and escalations
