Collections Specialist

Join our dynamic team at Quadrant Health Group! QHG delivers hands-on, process-driven operational support to behavioral health programs. We're hiring an Out-of-Pocket Collections Specialist to manage patient financial responsibility and drive resolution of outstanding balances.

Strong communication skills and ability to discuss financial responsibility confidently.

Education / Training
