The primary responsibility of the claims representative is to ensure that claims are processed accurately according to established benefits, eligibility criteria, and internal policies and procedures. This role requires a thorough understanding of the claims process, as claims may be completed, held for additional information, or denied based on the review outcomes. New hires will undergo a comprehensive training program that includes virtual classroom sessions, on-the-job learning, and feedback, with a gradual increase in claims processing expectations over several months. After training, representatives must consistently meet specific accuracy, quality, and productivity metrics to maintain their performance standards.

The position also involves evaluating authorizations, analyzing benefit plans, and identifying discrepancies or missing information. Representatives will utilize multiple computer applications simultaneously and must maintain a strong work ethic while working independently without close supervision. Meeting or exceeding quality and productivity goals is essential, as is the ability to identify learning opportunities for efficient claim processing techniques.
