Find the Billing Manager Hiring Medical Billers
Ad Call reads the live medical biller ads in your market and hands back, for each practice, hospital and billing company, the billing or revenue cycle manager most likely behind the req: name, title, email and office line, graded by confidence, with how long the ad has run. You reach the person watching the denials pile up, not the practice's front desk.
Every denied claim is money a practice already earned and hasn't been paid. That's the biller's job description.
Find the medical biller hiring managers in my market — freeWho hires medical billers
The biller req belongs to whoever answers for collections. In a small practice that's the practice manager or office manager, who often did the billing personally before the practice grew. In a larger medical group it's a Billing Manager, sometimes with a Billing Supervisor running the team. At a hospital or health system it moves up to a Revenue Cycle Manager, with HR running a formal process. And at a billing company that serves many practices, the biller works for the billing company, not the doctors, and reports to that company's own billing or operations manager. Know which of the four you are calling before you ask for anyone.

What Ad Call gives you for a medical biller ad
For biller ads Ad Call leads with the billing or revenue cycle manager, or the practice manager when the practice is small, and flags whether the employer is a provider or a billing company. Signals show days open, reposts and whether the ad names a specialty or payer, which is the best clue to the pain behind it.
Ad CallDeskFollow-upsCompaniesGuide- A month open and a repost: the billing manager is working denials with a short team while new claims keep arriving.
- "Denial management" in the ad is a confession. Someone is behind on appeals.
- Workers' comp is a specialty payer skill most billers don't have; one candidate who does is an easy conversation.
Why biller reqs open: denials, deadlines and payer changes
A biller opening is rarely about growth alone. It's about money stuck somewhere between the claim and the bank. Denials are the loudest version. A March 2024 MGMA Stat poll found that 60% of medical group leaders reported their claim denial rates had increased compared with the same period in 2023; only 11% said denials had gone down. Every one of those denials is work: find the reason, fix the claim, appeal or resubmit.
Deadlines make it urgent. Medicare's timely filing limit is 12 months, or one calendar year, after the date of service, and per CGS, a Medicare administrative contractor, claims that arrive late are denied and that determination is not subject to appeal. Commercial payers set their own limits, often shorter. So a billing team that falls behind doesn't just collect late; past a certain date it doesn't collect at all. That's what a billing manager is thinking about when your call comes in.
Payer changes trigger reqs too: a practice adds a Medicare Advantage plan, starts taking workers' comp, or loses the one biller who knew a difficult payer's rules. Read the ad for the payer or specialty named. If it names one, that's the gap.
Who hires medical billers: practice, hospital or billing company
The same job title means different employers, different buyers and different pitches. Figure out which one you're looking at from the ad.| Physician practice | Hospital or health system | Billing company (outsourced billing) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the req | Practice manager, or billing manager at a larger group | Revenue Cycle Manager, with HR running the process | The billing company's own billing or operations manager |
| What the biller does | Everything from charge entry to appeals for one specialty | A slice of the cycle: one payer group, one stage, or hospital claims | A book of client practices, often several specialties at once |
| What wins the interview | The same specialty and the same practice management system | Volume, payer-specific depth and hospital claim experience | Speed across multiple clients, specialties and systems |
| Process | Fast; the practice manager decides after one or two talks | Structured; expect an application and a panel | Fast when a new client signs; they need billers before the go-live |
| Your pitch | "She's worked orthopedic denials in your system" | "He's worked Medicare Advantage denials at volume" | "She can carry four clients across three specialties" |
What billing managers screen for: certification and specialty payer experience
Credentials. The AAPC Certified Professional Biller (CPB) is the billing-specific credential most managers recognize; the AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) signals coding knowledge, which matters because many denials start as coding problems. A biller who holds both, or holds CPB and understands CPC-level coding, can fix a claim instead of routing it back. The BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, which groups billing-and-coding work with medical records specialists, notes that employers may prefer certified applicants or expect certification shortly after hire, and that the work includes assigning codes for billing purposes. BLS projects that occupation to grow 8 percent from 2025 to 2035.
Specialty and payer depth. This is where placements are won. A billing manager in orthopedics wants workers' comp and prior-authorization experience; behavioral health wants experience with its payers' session rules; anesthesia and radiology each have their own quirks. Present the candidate by specialty first, payers second and system third.
Systems. Name the practice management or billing system the candidate used daily. It's a ramp-time question, and managers ask it early.
Remote work. Many biller roles went remote and some have stayed that way, while patient-facing staff have not. At one health system HFMA spoke with, remote positions were offered in revenue cycle roles but not to frontline patient-facing workers, as HFMA reported. Ask whether the role is remote before you pitch a local candidate as an advantage.
The email to the billing manager
Keep it to the specialty, the payer and the result. Billing managers read numbers; give them one.Your biller ad asks for denial management and workers' comp, which tells me appeals are stacking up.
I'm working with a CPB-certified biller who spent six years at a 12-surgeon orthopedic group. She worked the commercial and workers' comp denial queues, cut her group's over-90-day A/R by roughly a third in a year, and knows prior-auth rules for the major payers in Nebraska. She has used the same practice management system your ad lists.
She can start in two weeks.
Would a 15-minute call this week be useful? I can send a one-page summary first.

Questions recruiters ask about medical biller reqs
- Who hires medical billers?
The Billing Manager at most medical groups and billing companies; the Revenue Cycle Manager at hospitals and large systems; the practice manager or office manager at small practices. Outsourced billing companies hire their own billers under their own managers.
- When is the best time to contact a medical biller hiring manager?
Mid-morning, Tuesday through Thursday. Mondays are heavy with weekend charge entry and payment posting at many practices, and the end of the month is often spent on reporting and aging reviews. An ad that has been reposted is a good reason to call sooner rather than later.
- Does a medical biller need to be certified?
Not always, but many employers prefer it. The AAPC's CPB is the billing-specific credential and the CPC is the coding credential. BLS notes employers may prefer certified candidates or expect certification soon after hire.
- How do I contact a revenue cycle manager?
At a hospital, go through the main line and ask for the revenue cycle manager for the area the ad describes (professional billing, hospital billing, or a payer group), and be ready to follow the HR process. Ad Call puts the revenue cycle manager's name and email in the results when the employer is a hospital or large group.
