    Company: Nutritional Weight & Wellness Job Type: Full-Time Location: St. Paul, MN (Hybrid)

    First, a little about us. We help people build healthier lives — and we think that starts with our own team. Weight & Wellness is a small, people-first nutrition practice where work/life balance is real, every team member matters, and no one is just a job title. If you've worked at a place where your effort went unnoticed, this will feel different.

    Now, the role. We're bringing insurance billing in-house and need a skilled billing and credentialing specialist to own it. You'll work inside Healthie (EHR) and ClaimMD (EDI) — modern tools that handle a lot of the heavy lifting — but this role still requires a sharp, experienced person who knows how to read a denial, fix a claim, credential a provider, and talk to a client about their benefits without making their eyes glaze over.

    What You'll Own:

    Day-to-Day:

    Reviewing claims that Healthie auto-generates from appointments, then submitting them to ClaimMD — claim status updates automatically from there as remittances come in

    Eligibility verification before appointments — ClaimMD covers most payers automatically; you'll handle the small number of exceptions through payer portals

    Sending copay/coinsurance invoices once insurance remittance posts — amounts are pre-populated from the claim, not calculated by hand

    Being the go-to person for front desk staff, clients, and providers when an insurance question comes up — and actually helping them understand the answer

    As-Needed:

    Correcting and resubmitting denied or rejected claims using the reason codes ClaimMD surfaces (occasional formal appeal for more complex cases)

    Periodic follow-up on aging accounts receivable balances

    Tracking referral requirements and coordinating with clients and referring providers when it comes up

    Handling prior authorizations for the occasional plan that requires one (not common for MNT, but it does come up with some Medicaid and HMO plans)

    Ongoing (not appointment-driven):

    Credentialing new providers and keeping everything current — CAQH profiles, revalidations, payer enrollments, expiring documents

    What We're Looking For:

    4+ years of medical billing experience (nutrition or wellness setting is a bonus)

    ClaimMD or equivalent clearinghouse experience

    Solid CPT/ICD-10 coding knowledge, especially MNT codes (97802, 97803, 97804)

    Credentialing experience — CAQH, payer enrollment, the whole process

    Comfortable with payer portals (Availity, NaviNet, etc.)

    A communicator who can explain insurance in plain English

    Someone who runs their own work, hits their own deadlines, and doesn't need to be managed

    What You'll Get:

    A team that actually respects your personal time

    Recognition for the work you do — in a small practice, good work doesn't go unnoticed

    Room to make this role your own and improve how things run

    Competitive pay based on your experience
