• Manage month-end reporting, pre-authorisation checks, invoice compliance, and Work in Progress targets.
• Handle escalated queries from patients or internal teams with empathy and efficiency.
• Collaborate with departments across the hospital to streamline revenue processes.
• Monitor provider payments and ensure timely and accurate consultant remittances.
• Continuously review, enhance, and standardise procedures across all sites for improved performance and control.
