- Working knowledge of insurance eligibility, benefits, and authorization processes for government and commercial payers, including Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Veterans Affairs (VA), workers' compensation, managed care organizations (HMO/PPO), and commercial carriers.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to accurately document payer interactions, account activity, follow-up efforts, and resolution outcomes.
