Why This Role Matters

Claims operations sit at the center of everything we promise our clients and members. When complex, high-dollar, or high-risk claims move through the system accurately and on time, trust is built — and when they don't, it erodes fast. As Senior Manager of Claims, you're the person who makes sure that doesn't happen. You'll lead a team of claims examiners, drive process improvements, and partner across the organization to eliminate inefficiencies and strengthen compliance. The quality of your work shows up directly in client satisfaction, regulatory standing, and the operational credibility of Personify Health.

Work Location: This position offers flexibility for remote candidates. For candidates residing within commuting distance of our Tempe, AZ location, regular on-site work from the office will be required. 

What You'll Actually Do

• Lead and develop a claims team: Coach, guide, and hold accountable a team of examiners handling high-risk and complex claims — driving performance, engagement, and results through active feedback and talent development.
• Own complex and high-risk claims resolution: Oversee pended, high-dollar, and special-handling cases from start to finish, ensuring timely, accurate adjudication that meets established policies and service standards.
• Resolve escalated issues and payment discrepancies: Troubleshoot claim payment problems and partner with internal teams on fraud investigations, escalated inquiries, and other high-stakes situations.
• Manage regulatory and legal response: Coordinate responses to audits, legal requests, insurance complaints, Department of Labor matters, and regulatory inquiries — keeping documentation tight and timelines met.
• Drive compliance across the operation: Ensure adherence to Medicare, HIPAA, and applicable regulatory standards, conducting ongoing reviews to maintain quality, productivity, and documentation requirements.
• Identify and fix operational inefficiencies: Pinpoint workflow gaps, standardize procedures, implement best practices, and partner with leadership to increase auto-adjudication rates and reduce manual intervention.
• Collaborate cross-functionally on system and process improvements: Work with IT, legal, compliance, and vendors to support system enhancements, test and implement updates, and optimize EDI processes.
• Monitor KPIs and surface actionable insights: Track accuracy, productivity, and turnaround metrics to spot trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities — then translate findings into clear recommendations for leadership.
• Support new business and growth initiatives: Contribute to implementations, RFP support, and project teams, providing operational expertise to resolve challenges and ensure successful launches.
