Athenahealth Billing
These roles are for medical billers and revenue cycle staff with direct experience using athenaCollector, athenahealth's cloud-based practice management and billing platform. Athenahealth's workflows differ from other major EHR systems, so employers running their billing through this platform often prioritize candidates who already know the system's claims, denial management, and reporting tools.
Typical responsibilities include claims submission and scrubbing within athenaCollector, working denial and rejection queues (see denial management in medical billing), payment posting, and generating revenue cycle reports through the platform's built-in analytics tools. Some roles also touch athenaOne's scheduling and patient engagement features, particularly at smaller practices where billing staff wear multiple hats.
Employers hiring for Athenahealth-specific roles include independent physician practices, multi-specialty groups, and medical billing companies that manage revenue cycle operations for several athenahealth-based clients at once. Because athenahealth is popular with small and mid-sized practices, these roles often involve more direct contact with practice management than larger hospital billing jobs.
Pay varies with overall medical billing experience and specialty knowledge, and direct athenaCollector proficiency is frequently listed as a required or strongly preferred qualification. Our medical biller salary guide breaks down current ranges.
