About the Role

Traditional payment integrity solutions identify errors after claims have already been adjudicated, when denials, appeals, and rework are already underway. Availity Payment Accuracy operates earlier in the claims lifecycle by validating claims at submission—before they enter a health plan’s systems. By resolving issues upstream, we reduce avoidable denials, administrative burden, provider abrasion, and overall healthcare costs.

As an Operations Expert, you will serve as the operational bridge between clients and internal teams, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to ensure successful implementation, execution, and ongoing optimization of Payment Accuracy solutions. You will translate customer needs into actionable technical requirements, coordinate cross-functional efforts, and drive operational excellence throughout the product lifecycle.

Sponsorship, in any form, is not available for this position.
