Practice Manager (Dental Practice)

You'll keep the front of a medical billing bureau in Bloemfontein organised so the doctors can focus on patients. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Bloemfontein, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Open patient files and capture consent forms in line with POPIA
• Request pre-authorisation for scans, procedures and admissions
• Submit claims electronically and work through the rejection report daily
• Code consultations and procedures with ICD-10 and CCSA or NHRPL tariffs
• Send monthly statements and age the debtors book
• Check medical aid membership and benefits before each consultation
• Answer the phones and send clinical questions to the right nurse or doctor

• At least 2 years in a medical practice, hospital or billing bureau
• Confident with Excel and email
• Friendly on the phone and firm about outstanding accounts
• Sound knowledge of ICD-10 coding and medical aid tariff codes
• Experience on a practice system such as GoodX, Elixir, Medinol or Healthbridge

• Free medical consultations for staff at some practices
• Bonus linked to collections at billing bureaus
• Parking on site

• Specialist rooms care about the discipline, so say if you've coded for surgeons, anaesthetists or radiologists.
• Name the billing software you know in your CV headline; practices want someone who needs no system training.
