Healthcare Credentialing Lead with 11+ years driving accurate provider enrollment and operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Healthcare Credentialing Lead with over 11 years of end-to-end experience in provider credentialing, enrollment, and operations. I specialize in Initial Credentialing, Re-credentialing, Delegated & Non-Delegated workflows, and CAQH Maintenance across multi-payer and multi-specialty environments.
In my current role as Credentialing Team Lead at R4 Solutions Inc. (June 2024–Present), I lead end-to-end credentialing operations including Initial Credentialing, Re-Credentialing, Delegated, Hospital-Based, and Facility-Based (DME) Credentialing. I oversee non-delegated credentialing, maintain exceptional accuracy in a blended process environment, and build a high-performance team culture focused on freedom, accountability, and results.
Earlier, I’ve managed multi-specialty provider credentialing and enrollment as a Senior Credentialing Specialist at Synthesis Healthcare (SHAI), and supported large-scale payer engagements as a Senior Process Executive for Provider Operations (non-voice) at Cognizant. I’m at my best when I combine client relationship management, voice/non-voice processing, and rigorous weekly reporting and quality audits to deliver timely, high-accuracy outcomes.
