I have over 34 years of experience in the healthcare industry. During this time, I have specialized in many areas to include Operations, Risk Management, Information Technology, Electronic Medical Records, Contracting, Corporate Legal, Medical Billing and Coding, and consulting engagements structured to enhance current medical practice operations through practice assessments, operational improvements and developing and implementing strategic plans. I began my career in the healthcare revenue cycle management arena. After years of third party insurance and physician reimbursement involvement, I began working directly with multispecialty physician offices managing daily operations. My experience as a practice management executive enabled involvement with all levels of practice operations to include budget development and analysis, capital acquisition analysis, new business line implementation, new practice start up, operational process optimization, compensation modeling, risk management program planning, contract negotiation, legal review, compliance, and physician recruitment. My operational background is enriched by extensive experience and strong knowledge base of medical practice financial statements.As a member of the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC), I earned my Professional Coder (CPC) certification in 2001. I am an active member of Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), and the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) earning my Board Certification as a Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) in 2009.Specialties: Physician Practice Management, Medical Practice Managment, Operational and AR Assessments, Medical Billing and AR Management, Credentialing, Provider Enrollment, Multi-specialty group practice, Health Systems, Healthcare Insurance Denials, Healthcare Management, Physician Group Operations, EHR Meaningful Use
