Manage accurate, timely payment processing, exception resolution, account reconciliation, compliance, discrepancy investigations, production verification, and operational reporting. Partner with Product, Technology, Finance, Engineering, and Compliance teams to resolve escalated issues, define requirements, validate platform enhancements, support audits, maintain procedures, and improve operational efficiency. The role also develops training materials and manages competing priorities while maintaining transaction accuracy and accountability.
We were tired of hearing that healthcare is broken, so we decided to do something about it. At Nomi Health, we believe the care itself isn’t broken — it’s the business of healthcare that gets in the way. Every year, more than $1 trillion is wasted on paperwork, delays, and middle layers that drive up costs and keep people from the care they need.
We’re rebuilding the system so it works the way it should: clear prices you can trust, faster payments that keep providers focused on patients, and data that helps employers make better decisions. Our work has already touched more than 30 million lives — from local communities in Michigan to some of the largest companies in the country.
