Overview
Part-Time | 5–7.5 Hours Weekly | Remote | SOP-Driven

LN Virtual Administrator is seeking a reliable and detail-oriented medical biller to support mental health practices.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position, not a W2 employee role. The schedule is consistent at 5–7.5 hours per week to start, with potential for growth as additional billing groups are onboarded. Growth is possible but not guaranteed on a specific timeline.

This role is ideal for someone seeking steady, structured part-time billing work.

  • Follow payer-specific rules and internal SOPs
  • Prepare and submit claims using Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, adhering to payer guidelines
  • Apply appropriate coding including CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), ICD-9, ICD-10, DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group), and ICD coding standards to facilitate precise billing
  • Follow up on unpaid or denied claims through effective medical collection strategies
  • Maintain detailed documentation of billing activities, medical records, and correspondence for audit readiness
  • Collaborate with healthcare providers to clarify documentation and resolve billing discrepancies promptly
  • Stay updated on changes in medical coding regulations, insurance policies, and billing best practices to ensure compliance and optimize revenue

Requirements

  • 2+ years medical billing experience (mental health preferred)
  • Experience with major payers (BCBS, UHC/Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare/Medicaid)
  • Experience working remotely
  • Comfortable working as a 1099 independent contractor
  • Able to commit to a consistent 5–7.5 hours weekly
  • Must be comfortable following established SOPs
  • Strong communication and follow-through

Important

If you are seeking full-time employment, guaranteed growth hours, or are unsure about independent contractor work, this role may not be the right fit.

Application Question(s):

  • Are you physically located in the USA?
