Description
I am a financial executive known for my savvy management skills demonstrated across my career in the healthcare industry spanning more than a decade. I offer strengths in pharmacy operations and mergers & acquisitions, backed by productivity improvement and strategic planning proficiencies. My proven track record – where I have served in an executive capacity for multi-billion dollar industry giants Signature Healthcare, Humana, and Kindred Healthcare – includes accountability for division profit & loss, multi-million operations with 50 locations, capital spends of $250,000 per site, and 55 staff. At Urgent Care Specialists / Hometown Urgent Care, I presently serve as Senior Director of Financial Operations where I have reduced a huge accounts receivable balance and restored order to billing and collections functions. There, I have grown company reimbursements by $300,000 annually, produced $120,000 in annual savings through contract re-negotiations, and boosted accounts receivable days sales outstanding (DSO) from 91 to 30 days, an improvement of 67%. Previously, as Director of Finance at Integritas LTC & Affiliates, I substantially raised group productivity within only six months, after migrating Medicare, Medicaid, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, and 49 other providers to a new system and reimbursement model. I also led my employer’s transition to new electronic medical records and billing system. Beginning my career as a Director at Kindred Healthcare – a division with 50 pharmacies which I helped grow while reducing costs through development of a reporting application– I went on to assume roles of increasingly greater responsibility, as Pharmacy Finance / Trend Analysis Manager at Humana, and as the Director of Pharmacy at Signature. In these roles, I played an instrumental part in helping my employer gain crucial Medicare Part D market share, introduced a paperless mail order pharmacy system – which grew workflow and filled 500,000 prescriptions monthly – and developed and executed a strategy which restored balance to a firm with $31 million in pharmacy costs. My other career accomplishments include: • Settled old accounts payable debt with $1.8 million payoff, reducing payroll by $3 million annually. • Improved bad debt collections rate from 25% to 55%, substantially reducing outstanding $4.8 million balance. • Lowered pharmacy costs by $960,000 annually through application of a new formulary. • Posted $2 million in cost reductions, after uncovering pricing issues tied to contract loading practices. I have enclosed my résumé for your review, should any financial executive positions be available or become available in the near future. If I may provide you with any additional details on my accomplishments or qualifications for such roles, please do not hesitate contacting me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your team.
