Accountant (AR Focused) in Erie, Pennsylvania at PROVIDER RESOURCES INC

ABOUT PROVIDER RESOURCES INC.
Provider Resources Inc. (PRI) administers Independent Dispute Resolution under the federal No Surprises Act, processing payment disputes that directly protect patients from unexpected medical bills. We are a PE-backed, growth-stage company building the systems and team that will define PRI for the next decade.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The IDRE Accountant is responsible for the accurate, timely execution of assigned IDRE payment workflows — deposit detailing, cash application, refund processing, and remittance issuance. This is a high-accountability role for someone who takes pride in accuracy at scale and thrives in a structured, high-volume environment. No general ledger or technical accounting ownership; this role is operationally focused from day one. You will work within a CMS-regulated framework with defined SLAs and zero-tolerance standards for payment errors — experience in healthcare, payment processing, or other regulated industries will translate directly.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Process stakeholder deposits and execute cash application on assigned accounts within defined SLAs
• Own assigned refund processing, remittance issuance, deposit processing, or other related IDRE Finance workflows end-to-end
• Document and resolve payment corrections accurately and within timeline
• Respond to routine payment inquiries from insurance payers and non-insurance payers
• Maintain audit-ready records for all assigned payment workflows

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• 1 to 6 years of accounting, finance operations, or payment processing experience
• Background in high-volume cash operations — AR, cash application, payment processing, or similar
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accuracy under volume and time pressure
• Healthcare, payment processing, or CMS-regulated environment experience a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance preferred; equivalent experience considered
• CPA not required or expected

WHY PRI
• Meaningful work — every case we process protects a patient from a surprise medical bill
• Growth stage — real ownership, visible impact, and a team being built the right way
• Skills framework — defined growth paths and Udemy development pathways for every role
• Lean and direct — decisions get made and contributions matter
