What the job involves
- Cedar is making major investments in its Operator Portal, the primary interface used by health-system employees (call center operators, front desk, and patient advocates) to process payments and provide assistance to patients
- The Staff Workflows team oversees development of the Operator Portal, and we are currently seeking a Software Engineer III to help us build an innovative user experience that will enable healthcare workers to serve patients more efficiently and effectively
- Lead the design and implementation of new end-to-end, full stack features
- Collaborate with your product, design, and data partners to deliver new features and enhancements
- Uphold code quality standards through providing thoughtful PR reviews

Our take
Over $1 billion is said to be lost annually by physicians as a result of inefficient and disjointed healthcare billing practices. The subsequently low patient satisfaction rates lead to poorer care, and real losses for providers who see patients switching away from their plans.
Cedar looks to remedy these issues with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance and healthcare processes. Healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, so optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern - a great opportunity for the company.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar netted substantial funds and launched its Payer Intelligence Layer. This allows it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. The company was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division, to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology.
