Establish clinic onboarding checklists, day-in-the-life workflows, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

  • Care Management Billing & Revenue Cycle Infrastructure: Help establish, manage, and monitor the operational prerequisites and audit-ready tracking necessary to compliantly bill Medicare Fee-For-Service programs (CCM, PCM, TCM, CHEs).
  • Cross-Functional Billing Alignment: Coordinate with Revenue Operations, Finance, Actuarial, and Compliance to establish billing capture protocols, resolve co-pay handling/waiver workflows, and assess FFS vs. risk-adjustment implications.
  • Cross-Functional Governance & Operational SOPs: Serve as a central operational liaison across Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, Privacy (LCPR), Credentialing, and Clinical Risk to execute provider onboarding requirements, supervisory frameworks, and risk mitigations.
  • Lifecycle Management & Change Enablement: Develop, document, and maintain SOPs for provider lifecycle events (credentialing verification, supervising physician links, provider offboarding, patient reassignment) and partner with clinical training teams on field job aids.
  • Program Monitoring, Leadership Support & Continuous Improvement: Track and analyze operational metrics, enrollment figures, provider utilization, clinical documentation timeliness, and process adherence to provide regular visibility to leadership.
  • Leadership Support & Thought Partnership: Partner with Directors and the Ops VP to draft executive summaries, synthesize operational data, prepare risk rundowns, and formulate options/trade-offs for leadership forums (Steering Committees, COO Reviews, Summit presentations).
  • Process Optimization: Proactively identify workflow bottlenecks, escalate operational risks, and execute iterative process enhancements to support scalable growth.
