About the Role
Legion Health is seeking a Credentialing & Payer Contracting Coordinator to manage the workflows for clinicians to become credentialed with payers and ready for billing. This role is crucial in ensuring efficient operations within our AI-native psychiatry network, aiming to provide accessible mental health care.
Responsibilities
- Coordinate initial credentialing, payer enrollment, and recredentialing for new and existing clinicians.
- Collect, review, and organize provider documentation, including licenses, DEA registrations, malpractice coverage, CVs, education and work history, board certifications, W-9s, NPIs, taxonomy codes, disclosures, and attestations.
- Maintain accurate provider profiles in CAQH ProView, NPPES, PECOS, state Medicaid systems, commercial payer portals, and internal tracking systems.
- Prepare, submit, and track enrollment applications, roster additions, demographic changes, service-location updates, reassignment requests, terminations, and payer requests for additional information.
- Follow up consistently with payer representatives through phone, email, portals, and ticketing systems; document every interaction and escalate stalled or time-sensitive applications.
- Support the payer-contracting lifecycle, including network-interest submissions, contracting applications, agreement intake, fee-schedule organization, redline tracking, signature routing, amendments, and renewals.
- Route reimbursement, legal, and operational terms to the appropriate internal decision-makers for review and approval.
- Maintain a reliable source of truth for each provider and payer, including application status, participating plans, contract status, effective dates, rates, renewal dates, outstanding items, owners, and next follow-up dates.
- Coordinate with provider operations, revenue cycle, finance, legal, and billing teams to confirm that credentialing, contracting, roster loading, and billing setup are complete before a provider is marked ready to bill.
- Monitor licenses, attestations, recredentialing deadlines, contract renewals, and other expirations to prevent avoidable interruptions in payer participation.
- Investigate discrepancies across provider records, payer portals, contracts, directories, and internal systems, and drive each issue through verified resolution.
- Track turnaround times, aging applications, upcoming deadlines, payer bottlenecks, and operational risks through clear weekly reporting.
- Identify recurring issues and improve workflows through better templates, checklists, documentation, automation, and escalation paths.
- Protect provider information and any patient information encountered by following Legion’s privacy, security, and access-control requirements.
Requirements
- Proficient in spoken and written English.
- Exceptionally detail-oriented and able to identify inconsistencies across names, addresses, licenses, NPIs, TINs, taxonomy codes, and effective dates.
- Organized and comfortable managing multiple applications, contracts, deadlines, and payer conversations without losing track of details.
- Persistent and professional when following up with payers and resolving delayed or incomplete applications.
- Proactive about identifying risks and escalating issues before they affect provider launches, network participation, or billing.
- A quick learner who can adapt to new payer requirements, systems, and internal processes.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup where processes are continuously evolving.
- Skilled at maintaining clear documentation and ensuring every open item has an owner, status, next step, and follow-up date.
- Trustworthy with sensitive information and disciplined about authorization, attestations, signatures, and access controls.
