Role Description
This isn't just a job; it's a chance to build something that matters. As Medical Reviewer, you'll be shaping the future of at-home care. You'll be a key part of the team, working to ensure each surgical dressing order is fully compliant with every CMS regulation, including regulation/policies as they are applied by MACs & UPICs. You’ll translate LCDs/Articles and MAC playbooks into checklists, fix packet defects pre-bill, and run our ADRs/appeals processes.
