SF Avatar Fiscal & Billing Workgroup

The Fiscal & Billing Workgroup will develop fiscal and billing information used by Avatar. The workgroup will design the workflow process for fiscal and billing functions in Avatar. Examples of billing functions are client registration, eligibility, insurance, share of cost, and claims to Medi-Cal, Medicare or third party insurance. Examples of fiscal functions are revenues, reimbursement, and cost reporting.

Members of the Workgroup will advise in the design and development the Avatar application for CBHS. We are seeking a diverse group of individuals in a variety of roles in billing or cost reporting for mental health and substance abuse. We are seeking providers of adult, children’s and specialty mental health and substance abuse services in inpatient, outpatient and residential treatment settings provided by community-based organizations, PPN and civil service clinics. Participation in the Fiscal & Billing Workgroup will be approximately ten hours per month. The project plan will determine which knowledge and skills will be needed at any given time and members will be matched to appropriate tasks. If you are selected as a member you will need your supervisor’s approval, given the time commitment.
