What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role guiding credentialing and payer enrollment, strengthening NCQA/CMS compliance, improving processes, and supporting strategic growth in a collaborative, data-driven healthcare organization; open to remote or relocation.

I am an experienced, results-driven credentialing and payer enrollment leader with over 20 years in healthcare administration and provider network management.

I have led multi-state credentialing teams, streamlined enrollment processes, and ensured compliance with NCQA, CMS, and payer regulations, driving audit readiness and high client retention. I regularly present KPIs and strategic updates to executive leadership and negotiate contracts to maximize provider network participation and financial outcomes.

I oversee end-to-end credentialing workflows including Medicare/Medicaid enrollment, DME credentialing, site additions, and facility privileges, and I collaborate with developers to build proprietary credentialing software that provides real-time compliance insight. I also mentor team members, set performance goals, and align operations with client objectives.

I hold HFMA Certified Revenue Cycle Representative certification and am proficient with CAQH, PECOS, NPPES, Athenahealth, AdvancedMD, eClinicalWorks, Salesforce, Excel, and Google Workspace. I am available for relocation or remote roles and am passionate about improving patient access through efficient, compliant credentialing systems.
