About Nexus

Nexus Health Systems provides specialized care through a network of pediatric specialty hospitals and medical-model residential treatment centers across Texas. Our teams support individuals with complex medical, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental needs, helping patients and families move toward greater health and independence.

We’re seeking an experienced Financial Applications Analyst to support the systems behind our revenue cycle, admissions, and finance operations—and play a key role in our migration from MEDITECH Client/Server to MEDITECH Expanse.

About the Role

Reporting to the Clinical Applications Manager, the Financial Applications Analyst serves as the functional owner of MEDITECH revenue cycle and financial applications.

Hands-on MEDITECH revenue cycle experience is required, including dictionary build and operational support in BAR 6.x/Client/Server and/or RCG Expanse. Expanse RCG experience is strongly preferred.
