The Collections team under Billing is responsible for collecting payments from workplaces (e.g., healthcare facilities). The Billing Representative (BR) is responsible for ensuring that the assigned workplaces pay their invoices quickly and on time. Cash is the lifeline of any company. This is a very critical role to ensure that the cash flows for the company are smooth.
The BR will reach out to the workplaces through phone and email to follow up on payments, get a commitment of payment ("promise to pay"), and ensure that the workplaces honor these commitments. The BR will work with the workplaces and the respective internal teams to ensure any roadblocks in collecting the payments are removed. The role would require a cross-functional collaboration with Billing Disputes, Sales, Customer Support, and other teams to achieve the desired goals.
