- Maintaining accurate client records in our practice management system (CentralReach), including contact information, payer details, and authorization entries
- Providing general administrative support as needed, including answering phones, scanning, and filing
What We're Looking For
- Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially when interacting with families navigating insurance processes
- Experience with health insurance verification, prior authorizations, or medical billing is a plus
- Comfort working with electronic health record or practice management systems (CentralReach experience a bonus)
- A proactive, team-oriented mindset with a genuine commitment to supporting families affected by autism
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information with professionalism
