Business Office Manager
Bring Financial Expertise. Support Families. Make a Difference at Elderwood.
Mattapan Health & Rehabilitation Center and West Roxbury Health & Rehabilitation Center are seeking a dependable, detail-oriented, and compassionate Business Office Manager to support the financial and administrative operations of both skilled nursing and rehabilitation communities.
The Business Office Manager is responsible for the timely input of information within the accounting systems at the nursing facility and those which interface with the home office. The Business Office Manager directs the overall administrative activities in accordance with current applicable Federal, State and local standards, guidelines and regulations, and as directed by the supervisor, to ensure the proper administrative procedures are always maintained.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in healthcare accounts receivable (A/R), with a primary emphasis on Massachusetts Medicaid long-term care (LTC) billing and Medicaid-pending account management. Experience navigating Medicaid eligibility requirements, monitoring pending applications, coordinating required documentation, and following up on outstanding determinations is essential to supporting the financial operations of our skilled nursing communities. A general working knowledge of Medicare, private pay, and third-party insurance is also important, along with familiarity with PointClickCare (PCC), the resident management and billing software utilized by the facilities.
This role combines financial accountability with meaningful human interaction. Whether you're helping a family navigate the Medicaid application process, monitoring pending accounts, following up on outstanding balances, or ensuring the facility's financial records are accurate, your work directly contributes to a well-run community and a positive experience for residents and their families.
A Trusted Resource for Residents, Families & Leadership
The Business Office Manager is more than a financial administrator. You'll be a trusted resource for residents and responsible parties during what can often be an unfamiliar and complicated process.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Guide families through the financial side of care, including private pay, Medicare, Medicaid, insurance coverage, and resident account procedures.
- Strengthen financial operations by maintaining accurate billing, collections, account reconciliation, deposits, census records, and month-end processes.
- Support Medicaid eligibility and applications, helping families gather documentation and navigate requirements while communicating with county Medicaid offices.
- Partner with facility leadership and Revenue Cycle Management to identify outstanding receivables, address account concerns, and support the financial health of the community.
- Lead and support business office staff, providing guidance, training, organization, and best-practice support.
- Maintain the highest standards of confidentiality and compliance, particularly when handling sensitive resident financial and personal information.
Benefits & Perks
- Tuition Reimbursement Programs
- 401(k) with Employer Matching
- Generous Paid Time Off & Holiday Package
- Excellent Medical, Dental & Vision Benefits
- Employee Referral Program
- And more!
