• Research and resolve billing and payment exceptions such as rate mismatches, duplicate entries, short pays, overpayments, missing documents, and incorrect routing.
• Maintain thorough notes, backup documentation, and status updates so transactions can be reviewed, continued, and audited efficiently.
• Partner with agents, customers, carriers, vendors, and internal team members to gather information needed to complete or correct financial records.
• Raise policy-related questions and higher-risk issues to finance leadership when exceptions require additional review or authorization.
