The Center is currently expanding to 6 operating rooms and 4 procedure rooms and needs to add a senior level business office specialist.

This is a multi-faceted opportunity for an experienced, passionate person with at least 5 years of similar experience in orthopedic surgical practices, hospital same day surgery and/or licensed multi-specialty ambulatory surgery centers that perform a large volume of the more complicated orthopedic, podiatry and pain management cases.

The Center prides itself in providing an excellent work environment including:
Daily company provided lunch Compensation above market norm
Company paid benefits
This is a "hands on" senior level position for an expert with multi-specialty same day surgery coding and 3rd-party payer billing, (Medicare is a very small percentage of Center's business). Very heavy in Managed Care, Workers' Compensation and Attorney cases.)
