Part-Time | 5–7.5 Hours Weekly | Remote | SOP-Driven

LN Virtual Administrator is seeking a reliable and detail-oriented medical biller to support mental health practices.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position, not a W2 employee role. The schedule is consistent at 5–7.5 hours per week to start, with potential for growth as additional billing groups are onboarded. Growth is possible but not guaranteed on a specific timeline.

• Follow up on unpaid or denied claims through effective medical collection strategies
• Maintain detailed documentation of billing activities, medical records, and correspondence for audit readiness
• Collaborate with healthcare providers to clarify documentation and resolve billing discrepancies promptly
• Stay updated on changes in medical coding regulations, insurance policies, and billing best practices to ensure compliance and optimize revenue

Requirements

• 2+ years medical billing experience (mental health preferred)
• Experience with major payers (BCBS, UHC/Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare/Medicaid)
• Experience working remotely
• Comfortable working as a 1099 independent contractor
• Able to commit to a consistent 5–7.5 hours weekly
• Must be comfortable following established SOPs
