- Build clear handoffs and checkpoints between clinical, billing, and finance
- Partner with clinical leaders to align documentation with Medi-Cal medical necessity and billing requirements
- Create reporting that shows where every claim stands: submitted, pending, denied, paid
- Lead denial analysis and fix root causes, not just individual claims
- Keep processes current with DHCS, CalAIM, and county requirements
- Prepare the program for audits and payer reviews
- Train and coach clinical and administrative staff on their role in the cycle
- Work alongside our finance and billing colleagues to build on what's working and strengthen the connections between teams

- 5+ years in revenue cycle management, including Medi-Cal (behavioral health strongly preferred)
- Experience building or redesigning billing workflows
- Working knowledge of Medi-Cal claiming, authorization, and documentation standards
- Comfort with EHR and billing systems and 837/835 files
- Ability to translate between clinical and financial language

Nice to Have
- Experience with county mental health plans or specialty mental health services
- Youth residential or behavioral health experience
- EHR implementation or optimization experience
