Medical Billing Specialist (Physical Therapy) – Remote (U.S. Only)

HENO is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Medical Billing Specialist to join our growing remote team. This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in physical therapy billing, revenue cycle management, and client communication. The ideal candidate will play a key role in ensuring accurate and timely claims processing, resolving billing issues, and supporting both internal teams and clinic clients to optimize financial performance. Success in this role requires a high level of accuracy, accountability, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, service-driven environment. About Heno INC HENO was founded by Jeff Hohman, a software engineer, and Katie Hohman, a physical therapist since 2006 and owner of three private practice clinics in Central Florida. When they opened their first clinic, the husband-and-wife team relied on four to five different software systems to manage their practice. This approach quickly proved inefficient and disorganized. “For the first six months [using multiple platforms], we had no idea whether we were making or losing money,” Katie explained. As their operations expanded to additional clinics, managing multiple systems became increasingly challenging. Determined to find a better solution, Jeff and Katie set out to develop a software that would simplify practice management and eliminate the chaos of using fragmented tools. Drawing on Jeff's expertise in software engineering and Katie's hands-on experience managing clinics, they created HENO — the only EMR built by a physical therapist and private practice owner. This all-in-one platform is designed to save time, reduce costs, and streamline operations. By offering HENO to physical therapy practices everywhere, the Hohmans aim to empower clinicians to focus less on administrative tasks and more on what truly matters — the patient.
