Job Description
Thousand Oaks, CA | Full-Time | First Shift (8:00 AM – 4:30 PM) | On-Site
Exact Staff is hiring a Medical Billing Specialist for our client, one of the top-regarded medical clinics in Southern California, providing pediatric care alongside in-house diagnostic services, including bone density (DEXA) scanning, digital X-ray, and lab/blood work. Because so much of the clinic's work happens in-house rather than through outside referrals, the billing team handles a wider, more varied mix of coding than a typical primary care office. In this role, you'll manage the full billing cycle for both routine pediatric visits and in-house diagnostic and lab services. This is a steady, full-time opportunity with weekly pay.
This position is ideal for individuals with medical billing experience who are comfortable working across multiple service types: office visits, imaging, and lab.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Prepare, review, and submit claims for office visits, in-house diagnostics (DEXA/bone density, digital X-ray), and lab/blood work to commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid
- Verify patient insurance coverage, benefits, and eligibility, including any prior authorization requirements for diagnostic services
- Review and correct claim denials, rejections, and underpayments across both visit-based and diagnostic/ancillary billing
- Follow up with insurance carriers on unpaid or delayed claims
- Post insurance and patient payments accurately
- Identify and resolve billing discrepancies and coding issues, including coordinating with clinical staff when documentation needs clarification
- Communicate with patients and families regarding billing questions, statements, and payment arrangements
- Maintain accurate patient and billing records in the practice management system
- Ensure compliance with HIPAA, payer guidelines, and company policies
Qualifications:
- 1-3 years of medical billing experience in a medical office, physician's practice, or hospital setting
- Experience billing for diagnostic or ancillary services (radiology, lab, imaging) a strong plus
- Pediatric billing experience a plus, but not required
- Working knowledge of CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding
- Familiarity with insurance billing guidelines, including prior authorization processes
- CPC or similar coding credential preferred, not required
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple service types and claim workflows at once
- High school diploma or higher required
Pay, Schedule, and Location:
- Pay Rate: $25.00-$27.00/hour, DOE
- Schedule: Full-Time, Monday-Friday
- Shifts Available: First Shift, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM
- Location: Thousand Oaks, CA (On-Site)
Benefits Available:
- Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Insurance
- $0 copay for unlimited Teladoc virtual visits
- Employee Assistance Program (medical, financial, or legal support)
- Coverage available for spouse, domestic partner, and children
- Pet insurance available
- Resources for parents with children of developmental disabilities
Hiring Requirements:
- Valid identification that proves your right to work in the United States
- As a condition of employment, you may be required to pass a drug screen and background check.
