Director, Physician Reimbursement Strategy

Assembly Health

3d•$120,000 - $140,000•Remote

About The Position

Assembly is looking for a recognized expert in physician reimbursement to deepen the level of insight we bring to every practice we work with — and every practice considering working with us. This person lives and breathes the mechanics of physician billing: how claims move, why they get denied, where AR quietly ages, and what separates a practice that collects well from one that doesn't. This expertise doesn't sit on a shelf. It shows up in how we diagnose a practice's financial health, how we explain what's really driving their results, and how we demonstrate — with substance, not sales language — that we understand physician reimbursement as well as anyone in the industry. This person works closely with our commercial team, but their value is the depth they bring, not a sales pitch they deliver.

Requirements

8–10 years of hands-on experience in physician billing and revenue cycle management
Deep, demonstrable expertise in denial management, AR aging analysis, and collections reporting
Direct experience with, or strong depth across, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, and/or Pain Management billing
Ability to read complex financial and collections data and explain it clearly and accurately to non-technical audiences
Strong communication skills; comfortable representing Assembly's expertise directly to practice leadership and physicians
A genuine interest in the mechanics of reimbursement — someone who enjoys understanding why something is happening, not just reporting that it is

Nice To Haves

Experience across additional specialties beyond the three noted above
Experience developing case studies, whitepapers, or other content that reflects technical depth
Prior experience working alongside sales or business development teams in a healthcare services or RCM company
Formal billing/coding certification (e.g., CPC, CPB, CPMA) — valued but not a prerequisite

Responsibilities

Serve as Assembly's senior authority on physician billing and reimbursement, with particular depth in Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, and Pain Management
Analyze a practice's collections reports and AR data to identify what's driving strong performance, what's holding it back, the root causes behind denials, and where and why receivables are aging
Translate complex billing and reimbursement data into clear, accurate explanations that hold up to scrutiny from practice administrators, physicians, and CFOs
Participate in client and prospect conversations as a subject-matter expert, providing an honest, substantive assessment of a practice's revenue cycle — not a sales narrative
Support the commercial team in finalist meetings and, where relevant, RFP responses by grounding the conversation in real analysis of the practice's own data
Build long-term credibility with prospective clients by demonstrating genuine command of their specialty's billing complexity
Monitor payer policy changes, regulatory developments, and industry trends affecting physician reimbursement, and translate them into practical implications for practices and for Assembly's internal teams
Develop case studies, white papers, and educational content that reflect Assembly's depth of expertise in physician revenue cycle management
Serve as an internal resource, helping colleagues across the company understand the nuances of specialty-specific billing
