**Summary:
**
The Billing Associate holds a pivotal and critical position in supporting Personalis' overarching business objectives. This dynamic role is fundamentally responsible for establishing the foundation to maximize reimbursement for the company's proprietary Next Personal DX test. The core function of this position is to optimize the revenue cycle by meticulously managing the order intake and claim submission processes.
A primary responsibility of the Billing Associate is to ensure the absolute accuracy and completeness of the order intake process, which is the initial stage of the revenue cycle. Following this, the Associate is tasked with the precise preparation and submission of "clean claims"—claims free of errors, documentation deficiencies, or missing information—thereby accelerating payment and reducing denials.
Furthermore, this role is essential in reinforcing Personalis' deep-seated commitment to patient access to high-quality healthcare. The Billing Associate serves as the primary administrator of the NeXT Access financial assistance program. This involves communicating program details to eligible patients, processing applications, and managing the financial assistance workflow to mitigate the financial burden on patients, ultimately ensuring that more individuals can benefit from the Next Personal DX test regardless of their financial circumstances.
