Billing Specialist

EMBRACE Mental Health is not your typical nonprofit/community-based organization; our team of clinicians, supervisors and management stand out as highly skilled and supportive, and passionate about providing quality mental health care to the community. To maintain our focus and quality of care, we hire and develop team members that are committed to our mission and values, and foster a strong collegial community and ongoing professional development. Our internal Community Wellness program provides many opportunities to have fun and learn with colleagues that care deeply for one another.

Currently, EMBRACE Mental Health is looking for a dedicated Billing Specialist to join our team. The role of the Billing Specialist revolves around ensuring client insurance pre qualifications are met and accurate payments for services provided by EMBRACE are received.

The Billing Specialist must develop and foster relationships with other EMBRACE employees, Contra Costa County Patient Accounting, technical support personnel, EHR staff, and other vendors. If this role sounds interesting to you, you have a passion for supporting your community's access to mental health care and you would thrive in a supportive team environment where you learn and grow every day, we’d like to review your application.
