Gerard Simon
@gerardsimon
I’m a revenue cycle and healthcare operations professional improving billing and patient access.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare operations and revenue cycle professional with extensive experience across behavioral health, patient access, practice administration, billing, and team leadership. I manage complex workflows end-to-end while partnering with clinical and administrative teams to support organizational goals.
I’ve led operational improvements that directly strengthen patient experience and operational reliability. I’ve implemented systems and training programs that help teams run smoothly, including workflow automation and new operational processes for access and revenue cycle performance.
In revenue cycle roles, I’ve partnered with payers and regulatory entities to build sustainable billing operations. I collaborated to secure licensing, define fee structures, design billing workflows, and establish contract pathways with State Medicaid and commercial payers—while building QA practices through quarterly audits and documentation-driven oversight.
Beyond billing, I’m known for turning complexity into clarity—whether resolving denials and follow-ups or supporting eligibility determinations and system go-lives. I’m especially energized by roles that combine process improvement, compliance, and staff development to help patients get the care they need.
