Collective Health gives companies a smarter way to provide healthcare coverage through technology and a premium member experience for their employees. We replace traditional health plans with a flexible, data-driven alternative that connects and administers the entire health benefits ecosystem, so companies get more out of their investment.As the Product Operations Manager, I serve as the voice of our internal Operations teams and collaborate with Product and Engineering to define and prioritize product improvements, test and build workflows to enable scalability and operational automation, and find root cause resolution for SQL or file based bugs on our internal or third-party platforms. Through prioritizing JIRA backlogs, I manage cross-functional relationships including internal customer service managers, analytics, implementation specialists and external industry contacts in order to help top companies take better care of their talent.

As the hospital’s Revenue Cycle Manager for Hospital Billing and Claims, I manage a team of 18 direct reports that span across teams specializing in commercial, government, and specialty payers (out-of-state, global transplant, research studies, 340B). In my role, I focus on data and analytics to measure and improve revenue health, specifically decreasing claim hold days and improving cash flow. I created a scalable SQL-based cash goal model to improve accuracy by using historical claims sent volume and worked to improve accuracy of our Epic contract modeling for expected reimbursement. Additionally, I automated a monthly report for high dollar claims (>$1M) for the Controller and Finance teams that resulted in time savings of more than 2 days.Another main responsibility of my role is to work cross functionally across teams such as Registration, Authorization, CDM, HIMS, and Information Security. I lead multi-team meetings to remove workflow roadblocks that resulted in reaching our organizational goal in FY16. Additionally, I analyze claims data to provide recommendations on updates to contract language to increase yield and collection success rates, including LOA language, disallowed/bundled charges, and contract language ambiguity.ROSE Award Recipient: Dec 2017
