• Document manual workflows for unusual billing scenarios to support future scaling and automation.
  

• Submit all Price Books at least 7–14 days prior to launch to prevent retroactive updates and inaccuracies.
  

• Support the implementation lifecycle across cross-functional teams (Product, RCM, Legal, Operations).
  

• Own the direct invoicing process, ensuring invoices are generated and delivered accurately and on time.
  

• Maintain a tracker (billing guide) for all direct invoices, including any formatting or manual intervention needed.

• Respond to internal and external billing inquiries, communicating clearly and frequently to keep stakeholders informed of progress and resolution.
  

• Manage ad-hoc reporting requests and deliver reliable, data-driven outputs that support business needs.
  

• Uphold a customer-first mindset, providing world-class service while maintaining accuracy and professionalism in every interaction.
  

• Support billing reconciliation tasks with oversight from senior team members, ensuring that all invoices and adjustments are properly logged and verified.
