- Process check payments and assist in identifying electronic and credit card receipts when payment information is incomplete or requires further research.
- Prioritize resolution efforts using recurring unapplied cash reports, with attention to larger dollar items and aging balances that require prompt follow-up.
- Prepare documentation for refund or check requests and route materials through the appropriate approval channels for processing.
- Review write-off and deduction activity for accuracy and legitimacy before finalizing related account actions.
- Address payment and remittance issues by partnering with stakeholders across legal, administrative, and financial teams to secure complete and accurate information.
Requirements
