What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can lead medical auditing and healthcare management to improve authorization quality, medical appropriateness, and cost containment—using performance metrics, evidence-based protocols, and cross-functional teams to deliver efficient patient care.

I’m a senior physician with over 15 years of experience in medical auditing, healthcare management, and cost-control strategies across public and private healthcare systems. I focus on ensuring medical appropriateness, efficiency, and cost containment through rigorous evaluation.

In my current role as a Medical Auditor, I audit outpatient and inpatient services and assess high-impact areas including patient transportation, home hospitalization, and medical supplies. I also develop medical protocols and care pathways while implementing workflow optimization to improve authorization and validation processes.

Previously, I led national auditing processes as Head of Medical Auditing & Disability Services, evaluating high-cost medical services and applying strategies to optimize healthcare expenditure. I supervised multidisciplinary teams and coordinated Mental Health, Disability, and Home Care services to strengthen performance metrics and service efficiency.

My clinical foundation includes pediatric practice as a Pediatrician and on-call work in a pediatric clinical department, plus teaching experience as an Assistant Professor at the University of Buenos Aires. I bring both day-to-day clinical insight and structured auditing methods to improve resource allocation and guideline compliance.
