Multi-site Dermatology Group Seeks Payor Reimbursement & Claims Remediation Analyst in Portsmouth, NH
Optima Dermatology is recruiting a Payor Reimbursement & Claims Remediation Analyst to join our Practice Support Center, based in Portsmouth, NH.
Location: Hybrid, 111 New Hampshire Ave. Portsmouth, NH 03801
Position Details:
The Payor Reimbursement & Claims Remediation Analyst analyzes payor payment performance and resolves systemic payor claims issues that affect reimbursement accuracy and timeliness. The role pairs hands-on data analysis with operational payor remediation. The Analyst uses established Power BI reports to analyze payor adherence to contracted fee schedules, recognizes patterns of incorrect payment, and leads project-level remediation efforts covering underpayments, incorrect claims adjudication, credentialing-related issues, and payor policy misapplication.
This position serves as the primary operational liaison between Optima Dermatology and payor claims, provider operations, contracting, and credentialing teams. The Analyst prepares the reporting and data files that drive payor remediation projects and works closely with Revenue Cycle leadership, FP&A, Accounts Receivable management, billing, and credentialing to recover underpayments, resolve payor issues, and implement forward-looking process improvements. The role provides data and analysis to the Revenue Cycle Director to support decision making. This is an individual contributor role within RCM.
Responsibilities:
Payor Fee Schedule Analysis & Payment Integrity

Run established Power BI reports and use slicers, filters, and standard functions to extract the data needed to analyze payor payment performance.

Analyze payor adherence to contracted fee schedules by comparing expected reimbursement against actual payment to identify variances.

Payor Claims Remediation & Issue Resolution
•
Identify and manage systemic, project-level payor issues affecting claims adjudication, payment accuracy, and reimbursement timeliness.
•
Lead remediation efforts with payors to resolve underpayments, recurring denials, credentialing-related processing errors, and incorrect policy application.
•
Coordinate retrospective claims reprocessing and repayment for impacted claims and accounts.
•
Track remediation efforts from identification through resolution, ensuring accountability and follow-through.
Payor Engagement & Liaison

Serve as the primary operational point of contact with payor claims, provider operations, contracting, and credentialing departments for systemic claims issues.

•
Collaborate with credentialing, billing, compliance, contracting, and AR teams to align remediation efforts and operational corrections.

Translate payor resolutions into forward-looking claims processing and billing guidance to prevent recurrence.
