Job DescriptionThis is a remote position.
Rockstar is hiring a full-time Medical Billing Virtual Assistant on behalf of our client — a rapidly growing home-based healthcare organization headquartered in Arkansas.
This role is primarily a billing role. The ideal candidate will have genuine, hands-on experience with Athena EMR and full-cycle medical billing — claims submission, follow-up, and prior authorization — and must be able to demonstrate this experience clearly, as previous candidates have claimed Athena expertise they did not actually have. This is a billing-first role requiring someone who can come in and execute from day one.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced medical biller who genuinely knows Athena EMR inside and out and wants to make a real impact supporting a mission-driven home healthcare organization.
About Our ClientOur client provides comprehensive mobile primary care and post-hospital follow-up services, specializing in supporting patients who face barriers to traditional healthcare — including seniors and individuals managing chronic conditions. Their team of medical professionals brings high-quality, personalized care directly to patients' homes, ensuring continuity and compassion every step of the way.
The organization's mission is to make healthcare more accessible, proactive, and human by combining hands-on home visits with modern remote patient monitoring systems.
