My work as a healthcare consultant focuses on delivering highest-value health and welfare benefits at lowest cost to a notable client list across the government, multi-employer and national account spaces. I routinely navigate complex healthcare delivery and financing issues to achieve specific client objectives around cost containment, wellness, vendor performance management, healthcare reform and plan-design objectives. Project management assignments require multidisciplinary team leadership and typically cover design, pricing, funding, implementation and management of health and group benefits programs.Major accomplishments include systematically reducing employer spend on healthcare costs, mitigating the financial impact of catastrophic medical cases, and providing unexpected value through due diligence in identifying billing errors and lower-cost plan options. Recent roles have reflected particular success in the areas of merger analysis, financial and communication impacts of health care reform requirements and cost projections.My greatest strengths lie in the areas of relationship management, benefit plan design and leadership of cross-functional team efforts to serve clients well. Additional professional assets include:• A reputation for industry thought leadership, reflected in writing and speaking engagements around healthcare trends and benefit plan design.• In-depth experience in carrier, consulting firm and healthcare vendor environments.• Demonstrated, year-over-year achievement in new business growth and business retention. An extensive network of relationships within the healthcare benefits community makes my work especially rewarding and allows me to provide exceptional advice and service to those whose interests I represent.
Listed skills include Business Development, Account Management, Team Building, Consulting, and 14 others.
