ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency - we operate as a dedicated extension of our clients' teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.
Our U.S.-based client, providing dental care services to nursing homes, is looking for a Customer Billing Representative to join their growing team.
This is a customer-focused role where you'll assist customers with billing enquiries, review account balances, explain charges, process account updates, and help resolve billing-related queries.

The client is looking for someone with exceptional customer service skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to build positive relationships with customers.
