Cornerstone is growing and looking for experienced, Compassionate Medical Billing Resource to join our team!

About the Company

Cornerstone is one of the most dynamic and progressive companies in the rapidly expanding home health, hospice, and home care industries.

These agencies have no corporate headquarters or traditional management hierarchy. Instead, they operate independently with support from the “Service Center,” a world-class service team to allow on-site leaders and caregivers to focus squarely on day-to-day care and business issues in their individual agencies.

Something else that sets us apart from other companies is the quality of our most valuable resources – our people! We are dedicated to living out our culture as defined by our core values, “CAPLICO”:
