About the Role
We are looking for a highly detail-oriented US Healthcare RCM & Billing Analyst to support revenue cycle management for US-based primary care practices.
This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in US medical billing, payer processes, claims, payment reconciliation, denials, and advanced Excel-based analysis. You will work directly with US healthcare workflows and be responsible for ensuring billing accuracy, identifying revenue leakage, investigating payment issues, and continuously improving operational processes.
You will also work with large, multi-tab Excel workbooks and AI-assisted workflows: strong analytical and technical skills essential.
Key Responsibilities

- Reconcile expected payments against actual payments and investigate discrepancies.
- Research claims, payment issues, denials, and underpayments and identify root causes.
- Coordinate with internal stakeholders and payers to resolve outstanding issues.
- Conduct payer outreach by phone and other approved communication channels.
- Prepare monthly partner invoices and supporting billing summaries.
Data Analysis & Technical Review
- Audit large, high-volume legacy datasets across complex, multi-tab Excel workbooks.
- Validate historical outputs against payer-specific billing rules and requirements.
- Identify recurring errors, process gaps, and potential sources of revenue leakage.
- Perform detailed QA and exception analysis across large datasets.
- Maintain clear calculation logic, supporting documentation, and audit trails for analyses and findings.
Process & Workflow Optimization
- Identify opportunities to improve billing and RCM workflows.
- Optimize Excel-based billing workbooks and reporting processes.
- Support and improve AI-assisted workflows used within assigned RCM processes.
- Recommend process improvements based on recurring errors, operational data, and root-cause analysis.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across the revenue cycle.
Collaboration
- Communicate regularly with US-based stakeholders.
- Clearly document issues, findings, calculations, and recommended actions.
- Operate as an extension of the client's internal RCM team.
- Escalate material issues promptly and follow through to resolution.

- Strong understanding of the US healthcare billing and payer ecosystem.
- Hands-on experience with:
- Eligibility verification
- Medical billing
- Claims
- Payment posting/reconciliation

- Comfortable working with structured processes as well as ambiguous or evolving workflows.
- Ability to work effectively with US-based teams and stakeholders.

- Understand the why behind an RCM discrepancy.
- Analyze large datasets and identify patterns.
- Trace an issue back to its root cause.
- Work independently with limited supervision.
- Catch errors before they become financial problems.
- Clearly explain findings to US healthcare stakeholders.

Why Join Us
- Work directly with US healthcare organizations and primary care practices.
- Gain exposure to complex RCM, payer, and healthcare operations workflows.
