JOB OPENING

• Title: Medical Biller

SUMMARY

The American Medical Center was founded in 2012 to address and help fill the needs of the Americans stationed in the Kaiserslautern Military Community. Reportedly, the lack of "available space" of medical care on base and the headaches created by the “pay-and-claim” medical care of the German economy caused frustrations with many stationed Americans.

As demand for medical services grew, the American Medical Center has expanded its on-site medical services to now include more family practice physicians, physical therapists, psychiatrists, nutritional counseling, and veterans’ evaluation services. Today the American Medical Center provides many services across two locations.

A Medical Biller is needed to support the American Medical Center and its commitment to providing quality care for patients. Medical billing is a key component of quality care, and the American Medical Center is committed to ensuring that every medical procedure and service is prepared and submitted accurately, timely, and reflects the scope of services provided. The focus of this job is to manage the billing insurance and processing payments for clients. The Medical Biller will prepare and submit claims for medical procedures and services provided to insurance companies, communicate with patients about outstanding balances, and collect payments for the provider.
