Insurance Billing Lead

Insurance Billing Lead
At Lindsey Communities, we believe that strong financial operations strengthen our ability to serve older adults, enrich lives, and support thriving communities. We are seeking a detail-oriented, analytical, and highly accurate Insurance Billing Lead to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured work, thrives on precision, and takes pride in delivering error-free billing and accounts receivable processes.
If you have a strong command of healthcare billing, love solving complex problems, and want to support a mission-driven organization—all while enjoying the flexibility of working away from our offices in Urbana, IL (hybrid) up to two days per week —we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role
This role plays a key role in ensuring accurate billing, regulatory compliance, and timely collection of revenue for our services. This position requires a high level of attention to detail, a structured and methodical work style, and a strong commitment to mastering information, regulations, and processes.
You will work independently on detailed tasks, collaborate with internal partners, and exercise a fact-based, direct communication style. The ideal candidate is steady, consistent, and patient—someone who excels in an environment with clear procedures, routine workflows, and can get back on track after interruption.
