AR Analyst
Find the pattern before the floor works ten thousand claims one at a time. You turn AR data into the two or three actions that actually move the number.
The role
What this job actually is
Mastery of the RCM metric set is mandatory: net collection rate, gross collection rate, days in AR, AR over 90 days, denial rate, first-pass resolution rate, clean claim rate, cost to collect, charge lag and DNFB. You must be able to read them, explain what moves them, and act on them.
Calling works claim by claim. Analysis works ten thousand at a time. You sit on top of the AR inventory and answer the questions that decide where the floor spends its hours: which payer is quietly slowing down, which denial code is growing, which provider or location generates rework, where the recoverable money actually sits. Then you build the worklist that acts on it and prove afterwards whether it worked.
Ownership
What you will own
AR and denial analysis
Segment the inventory by payer, age, denial reason, client, location and dollar value. Find where the money is and where the leakage starts.
Prioritised worklists
Turn the analysis into work: ranked queues the callers run, built on recoverable value and time remaining, not just age.
Payer behaviour tracking
Monitor turnaround, denial mix and payment variance by payer. Catch a slowdown in week two, not quarter three.
Reporting the client sees
Build the AR and denial views that go into monthly reporting and QBRs. Accurate, reproducible and explainable.
Root-cause packaging
Trace denials back to registration, eligibility, authorization, coding or charge entry, and hand the owning team a documented case.
Measuring the fix
After a change ships, prove whether the denial rate moved. No unmeasured wins.
Ramp
Your first 90 days
First 30 days
Learn the data: systems of record, claim and remit files, denial taxonomy and the current reporting. Rebuild one existing report from source and reconcile it.
By day 60
Publish a payer-level AR and denial baseline per client, with the top recoverable pools ranked.
By day 90
At least two prioritised worklists in production and one root-cause fix delivered upstream with measured impact.
Requirements
What we look for
- MANDATORY: working command of RCM metrics, net collection rate, days in AR, AR over 90, denial rate, first-pass resolution rate, clean claim rate and cost to collect
- Two or more years in healthcare revenue cycle analysis, AR reporting or denial analytics for US providers
- Strong Excel, including pivots, lookups and clean reconciliations, plus SQL or a comparable query skill
- Fluent in the denial vocabulary: CARC and RARC codes, 835 remittance detail, adjustment versus denial versus underpayment
- Able to explain a finding to an operations leader in plain language and defend the numbers
- On-site in Chennai
Bonus
Strong plus, not required
- Power BI, Tableau or similar reporting tooling
- Python or R for repeatable analysis
- Behavioral health, ABA, hospital or FQHC data experience
- Exposure to contract modelling and expected-reimbursement variance
Accountability
How this role is measured
| Measure | What it means |
|---|---|
| Recoverable value identified | Dollars surfaced and routed to the floor as prioritised work. |
| Worklist yield | Collection rate on the queues you build versus baseline. |
| Denial rate movement | Top denial categories, trending down after your fixes ship. |
| Reporting accuracy | Zero restatements. Numbers that reconcile to source every time. |
| Turnaround | Analysis delivered inside the window operations can still act on. |
| Root causes closed | Documented cases handed upstream and confirmed fixed. |
Why ASP-RCM
Why this seat is different
We are senior-led by design. A senior partner is named on accounts and shows up in the work, which is why clients renew and why this role carries real authority rather than a title. Our AI suite is in production, not in a roadmap deck, and our compliance posture is independently audited: SOC 2 Type II with HITRUST, ISO 27001 and HIPAA.
We pay for certifications and run upskilling cohorts, because coding and revenue cycle are crafts that need investment. You will work across Dallas HQ, six US states and Chennai, India, with colleagues who have run these functions at scale.
