- Ensure all processes are completed in accordance with relevant payer requirements and company procedures.
- Work within an EMR and/or billing software platform commonly used by Early Intervention or pediatric healthcare providers.

- Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth communication and efficient resolution of outstanding matters.
