BILLING SPECIALIST (ABA Services) Autism From The Start -- Olathe, KS
About Us
- At Autism From The Start, we provide ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) early intervention services to young children with autism and the families who love them.
- We also offer speech therapy (on a smaller scale) and ASD diagnostic evaluations, so our billing work spans a few different disciplines.
- We take our work seriously — but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
- We're looking for a detail-oriented Billing Specialist to help us keep claims, payments, and A/R running smoothly, so our clinical team can stay focused on what matters most: the kids.
About the Role
- As our Billing Specialist, you'll own the core of our billing cycle — submitting claims, reconciling payments, and chasing down denials until they're resolved.
- Authorizations, verification of benefits, credentialing, and KPI reporting all live with other folks on our team, so this role is nicely focused: you get to go deep on claims and collections without getting pulled into a dozen other directions.
- You'll also be a friendly, steady voice for our families — walking new families through what to expect financially, and being there to answer questions or talk through payment plans when things come up.
- This isn't a "hide behind a screen" billing job. We want someone who's just as comfortable running a claim report as they are hopping on a call with a parent to explain a bill with warmth and patience.
- This role is ideal for someone who's meticulous with the numbers, genuinely likes people, and wants real ownership over a well-defined piece of the revenue cycle.
What You'll Do
- Submit accurate, timely claims across payers, including Kansas Medicaid, spanning ABA, speech therapy, and ASD diagnostic evaluation services
- Reconcile payments against claims and track down discrepancies
- Chase denials — figure out what went wrong, fix it, resubmit, and follow through until it's resolved
- Own accounts receivable and stay on top of outstanding or aging claims
- Keep billing records accurate and up to date in CentralReach
- Double-check claims against EVV data before they go out
- Lead friendly, clear conversations with new families about financial expectations and what to expect from the billing process
- Meet with families as needed to answer billing questions, explain costs, and talk through payment plans — with patience and genuine warmth
- Flag any patterns in denials or payer headaches to leadership
- Loop in the authorizations/VOB and credentialing teams when a billing issue traces back to something on their end
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of ABA billing experience (claims, payment posting, denials, A/R)
- Required: Hands-on experience with CentralReach
- Required: Experience billing Kansas Medicaid
- Required: Experience billing for speech therapy services
- Required: Experience billing for psychological/diagnostic evaluations (e.g., ASD diagnostic evaluations)
- Solid knowledge of ABA-specific CPT codes (97151, 97153, 97155, 97156, etc.)
- Experience with EVV systems and matching claims to EVV data
- A track record of actually resolving denials and keeping A/R clean, not just tracking it
- Sharp attention to detail and strong organizational instincts
- Genuinely warm, clear communication skills — you're comfortable leading conversations about money with families who are often navigating something hard
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote setup
Nice to have:
- Experience building or improving billing workflows
Details
- Location: Olathe, Kansas
- Compensation: Commensurate with experience
- Employment type: Full-time
- Benefits: Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance; 401K; Short-term Disability; Paid Time Off; Seasonal Paid Breaks
