Senior Claims Analyst

About Highlight Health

If you have spent time in payment integrity, you know the industry's quiet truth: most review happens after the check clears, most findings die in appeals, and the plan sponsor never sees proof of what they actually paid for. Highlight Health was built by people who decided that was not good enough. We review high-dollar claims before they are paid, reprice them with a comprehensive approach, and provide plan sponsors a Documented Record: evidence that every payment decision was right, at a price they can defend to the people they cover. Fiduciary duty has always been the law; we make it provable. As our Account Executive, you will bring that proof to the widest part of the market, mid-sized self-funded employers and the brokers and TPAs they trust, so they achieve optimal savings that enable them to provide quality coverage for their members.
