Certified Biller for Speech and Occupational Therapy
I engaged Shahid from February 2026 - May 2026 as an independent medical billing specialist for our pediatric therapy practice. The role required independent claim work, follow-up on aging AR, denial management, payment posting (including manual posting for payers without ERA setup), secondary billing, and weekly reporting.
During this period:
The practice's denial rate of adjudicated claims roughly doubled under his tenure, from a 3.6% pre-engagement baseline to 6.5% during the engagement, with one month spiking to 11.4% (the highest in our 13-month data history). Shahid did not tell me about this- I found it out myself through worrisome revenue drop and report analysis.
The in-flight claims backlog (claims at Submitted/Processing/Acknowledged status without resolution) tripled from 7.1% to 22.3% of billable claims.
Approximately $42,500 in revenue is likely permanently lost due to denials aged past appeal windows without filed appeals, and to claims that sat at "Submitted" status past timely filing.
Secondary billing at the secondary-payable amount above primary payment was inconsistent for approximately three months across both Trizetto and MMIS.
Approximately $16,000 in Trizetto clearinghouse rejections dating back to March were never worked.
81 claims were marked "Paid" in the EMR with no corresponding payment posted to the ledger.
Occupational therapy claims were submitted with the GN modifier (speech-language pathology) instead of GO, causing advanced risk for billing fraud.
No material operational report on revenue, AR, denials, or aging was produced during the engagement, despite this being part of the role.
When I held him accountable in writing with documented findings, his response addressed personal circumstances and his objection to performance-based contract changes, but did not engage with any of the documented work issues. He missed multiple deadlines for cleanup deliverables- never once meeting a reasonable deadline.
He proposed and brought on two sub-workers under his contract with the representation that he would manage them. He did not provide adequate training or management to either. The training of the second sub-worker required substantial direct time from me.
Honest summary: Shahid functions at a supervised-task level rather than the independent specialist level his profile claims. He requires daily prioritization and oversight, avoids difficult or research-intensive work, and does not surface problems proactively. He may be appropriate for clients who can provide intensive daily supervision on simple, defined tasks — but not for clients who need an autonomous biller.
