Now why would a smart healthcare professional like you want to work for Ancillary Advantage?
You will gain a unique professional business experience working directly in an orthopaedic and sports medicine practice under the physician?s direct supervision managing their DME Program, thus, gaining the skill of running a piece of the ancillary business inside the business.

You will learn the in?s and out?s of the government and private insurance carriers in order to complete all steps required for the DME product to be properly pre-certified (if applicable), verification of patient benefits, and the claim submission processes by working closely with the Reimbursement Team members.
You will strengthen your communication skills with physicians, administration, their clinical and surgical personnel, sales representatives, and your team at Ancillary Advantage who is here to support you on a daily basis.
