A private equity–backed, physician-led specialty medical group is hiring its first Vice President of Revenue Cycle. The group is about $250M in revenue, with roughly 100 locations across 10 states and about 175 providers. Growth has outpaced the revenue cycle behind it, and this newly created role exists to change that.
You'll diagnose where revenue is being lost, deliver fast cash improvements, and build a standardized, data-driven revenue cycle that scales with the business. You'll have real authority over process, team structure, and vendor relationships, including the group's outsourced RCM partner.
What you'll lead
- Assess the full revenue cycle: people, processes, systems, and vendors, from scheduling and authorization through final collection
- Accelerate cash: improve collections, cut revenue leakage, and reduce A/R aging
- Reduce denials: raise clean-claim rates, prevent avoidable denials, and strengthen appeals
- Fix the front end: streamline prior authorizations and procedure scheduling to prevent delays and lost revenue
- Own specialty billing: ASC, workers' compensation, and personal injury reimbursement
- Hold vendors accountable: evaluate the outsourced RCM partner (athenahealth), separate vendor issues from internal ones, and redesign the model where needed
- Standardize and scale: consistent workflows, KPIs, and reporting across every location
- Build the team: assess current talent, restructure where needed, and develop a leadership bench that scales
Your first year
- Days 0–30, diagnose: set baseline KPIs; assess cash, A/R, denials, authorizations, the team, and vendor performance.
- Days 30–90, deliver quick wins: act on collections, denials, authorizations, and A/R while putting accountability in place.
- Months 3–12, scale: standardize workflows enterprise-wide, strengthen leadership, and show sustained financial results.
