Claims Specialist

Overview

Advanced Hearing Providers (“AHP”) coordinates hearing healthcare services for employees with workers’ compensation claims. We connect patients with our nationwide network of qualified hearing healthcare providers on behalf of our clients; the payers and third-party administrators of workers’ compensation claims. We are seeking hard-working, self-motivated candidates with a positive attitude who like the idea of being involved in the process of helping people hear better. The position of Claims Specialist (“CS”) plays a critical role in the operation of the organization. The main function of an AHP CS is coordinating authorized hearing healthcare for covered employees. AHP staff work as a TEAM – this is crucial! We expect team members to build trust and respect for each other by producing consistent results and going above and beyond, especially to help each other. Even though each CS will be working on their own assigned cases, interaction with other team members, clients, providers, and patients will occur often.   This is a remote position that will require the ability to work West Coast hours (8:30 AM to 5 PM PT) to support our customers on the West Coast.
