About Us
InStride Health’s mission is to deliver specialty anxiety and OCD care that works for every kid, teen, young adult, and family who needs it. Through this mission, we are expanding access to insurance-based care, increasing engagement in treatment, and improving treatment outcomes. We are doing this by combining research-backed clinical care and innovative technology to eliminate the major problems with care today: difficulty finding providers, months of waiting to be seen, arduous onboarding processes, and inconsistent use of evidence-based therapies and outcomes tracking. Our vision is to become the nation’s most trusted provider of pediatric anxiety and OCD care.
Team InStride Health: Our Core Values
- Give Heart: We lead with heart, treating patients and their families the way we want our loved ones to be treated.
- Work Smart: We find smarter ways to solve hard problems and fix the broken mental health system by leveraging technology, diversity of thought, and innovation.
- Have Humility: We leave our egos at the door, empowering our team to collaborate, celebrate diversity, and adopt a growth mindset.
- Embrace Community: We all belong. We are in this together, and we never worry alone. We believe in each other and recognize that every voice matters.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Manager, RCM Optimization & Strategy to find and fix the root causes of denials, front-end rejections, and revenue leakage across InStride’s Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) operations. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of RCM, this high impact senior individual contributor role serves as the strategic bridge between core RCM workflows (billing, cash posting, AR, and patient collections), Payor Operations, and the analytics and technology that power them. You will own billing system setup and payor billing logic, lead root-cause analysis on denials and underpayments, and build the KPI framework the RCM team uses to measure performance. This is an individual contributor role: rather than managing the billing and AR team, you will equip the team and the Senior Director of RCM with the insights, workflows, and system fixes that make their work faster and more accurate.
You will collaborate closely with the RCM team, Payor Operations, Licensing & Credentialing, Authorization & Eligibility, Clinical Admissions, Clinical Operations, and IT to reduce front-end errors, streamline complex workflows, resolve systemic payor issues, and maximize collections. As InStride’s RCM function scales, this role may have the opportunity to grow into people leadership. This is a fully remote position.
