• Partners with internal stakeholders to support timely resolution of provider data issues, claims-related research, grievances, compliance reviews, and other operational needs. 
• Follows standard operating procedures, maintains accurate documentation of work completed, and recommends process improvements that strengthen data integrity and team efficiency.

• Experience working in multiple systems or databases and comfort learning new applications, workflows, and reporting tools. 
• Ability to analyze information, identify patterns or discrepancies, research root causes, and support practical solutions. 
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, follow-through, and ability to manage recurring tasks, competing priorities, and deadlines. 
• Professional written communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with internal and cross-functional partners. 
• Familiarity with HIPAA, protected health information, provider enrollment, claims, credentialing, ServiceNow, or provider data systems is helpful but not required.
