Centivo is looking for Claims Processors to join our team!

As a Claims Processors you will manage and processes healthcare claims for our self-funded employer groups.

When the Claims Processor is unable to resolve an edit based on the provider selection, the pricing and/or usual and customary discrepancies, immediately route the claim to the Provider Maintenance and/or Pricing teams for resolution.
When the Claims Processor is unable to resolve an edit based on the information included with or attached to a claim, appropriately deny the claim for additional information, and generate correspondence to the participant or provider concisely explaining data needs. When such additional data is received, reopen the denied claim, and re-adjudicate based on the information.

Our Values:

Resilient – This is wicked hard. There is no easy button for healthcare affordability. Luckily, the mission makes it worth it and sustains us when things are tough. Being resilient ensures we don’t give up.
Uncommon - The status quo stinks so we had to go out and build something better. We know the healthcare system. It isn’t working for members, employers, and providers. So we’re building it from scratch, from the ground up. Our focus is on making things better for them while also improving clinical results - which is bold and uncommon.
Positive – We care about each other. It takes energy to do hard stuff, build something better and to be resilient and unconventional while doing it. Because of that, we make sure we give kudos freely and feedback with care. When our tank gets low, a team member is there to be a source of new energy. We celebrate together. We are supportive, generous, humble, and positive.
