Senior AR Caller
The claims nobody else could move. Aged inventory, hard denials, appeals with real money attached, and the junior callers who learn the craft from you.
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.
You get the inventory that has already defeated someone. Aged over 120, denied twice, underpaid against contract, or stuck in a payer process nobody on the floor understands yet. Your job is to figure out the actual blocker and clear it, then write down how you did it so it stops being hard. You also carry the floor: you are the person a caller turns to when a payer rep gives an answer that does not make sense.
Ownership
What you will own
The hard inventory
Own aged, high-value and repeatedly denied claims. These are judgment calls, not queue work.
Appeals that win
Build appeals with the actual evidence: medical records, authorization history, contract language, timely filing proof. Write to be read by a reviewer, not filed by a clerk.
Underpayment recovery
Compare paid amounts against contracted rates and fee schedules, and pursue the difference. Money the client already earned.
Escalation paths
Know when to leave the phone queue: provider relations, payer escalation units, state complaint routes, and the client's own leverage.
Coaching the floor
Mentor AR Callers on payer behavior, call control and documentation. Raise the average, not just your own number.
Root cause reporting
Convert recurring blockers into a written case for a front-end or coding fix, with dollars attached.
Ramp
Your first 90 days
First 30 days
Take the aged bucket, work it, and report back on what is actually blocking it, by payer and by cause.
By day 60
Appeal templates and escalation paths documented for your top payers, and juniors using them.
By day 90
Measurable recovery from inventory that was written off as unworkable, plus one systemic fix pushed upstream with evidence.

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.
