The revenue cycle technology market is saturated with generalists. Our clients need someone who has been inside these platforms who understands what the configuration decisions actually mean for billing operations and who can speak honestly about where the technology falls short and what to do about it.

This is a client-facing leadership role. The Associate Director will own executive relationships lead engagement teams contribute to business development and bring deep technical credibility to every conversation. We expect this person to have the most Epic revenue cycle knowledge in the room most of the time.

Lead Client Engagements

That means owning the relationship with the CFO VP of Revenue Cycle and CDIO managing workstreams across a team and being accountable for the quality and direction of our work. Engagements vary: some involve assessing a health systems current platform configuration and identifying revenue leakage; others involve guiding a client through a post-live stabilization after a difficult Epic go-live; others are full optimization programs aimed at reducing denial rates improving clean claim rates or restructuring CBO operations. You will be expected to bring a point of view into every room not just facilitate a process.

Deliver on Revenue Cycle Technology Depth
