As the Regional Director of Managed Care overseeing operations across the western half of the US, my primary focus is on optimizing the delivery of healthcare services. With 15 years of combined experience in health insurance, workman's comp case management, and medical device sales, I spearhead initiatives in network development, contract negotiation, and provider relations. Strategically, I craft and execute plans to align managed care objectives with overarching organizational goals, fostering financial sustainability and expansion. Through adept negotiation with healthcare providers and stakeholders, I secure favorable terms to streamline cost-effective healthcare delivery. Quality management takes precedence as I implement initiatives to meet regulatory standards and accreditation requirements, elevating the standard of care for our partners. Leveraging data analysis, I pinpoint trends and areas for enhancement in utilization, cost, and quality metrics. Furthermore, I ensure contract compliance with state and federal regulations while collaborating closely with field sales teams to offer guidance and support, driving sales and facilitating revenue generation via provider contracts and facility training initiatives.
