Achievements

• When University Surgi-Center went in-network I created a Acknowledgement Agreement for all our patients with In-network providers prior to their scheduled visit with us. They were asked to review the document and have it signed prior to the visit. Basically it was a form stating that we collect all co-pays and co-insurances at time of visit and once the insurance carrier processed their claim they had 30 (thirty) days to pay the balance in full. This not only increased our cash revenue but it cut our collection costs and bad debt by 63%.
• Increased profits by 32% for the University Surgi-Center an out of network facility within the first 12 months of changing owners in 2007 by creating the ideal appeals letter that was a hit and enabled insurance companies to fax over proposals for additional payments on ¼ of the claims we sent back.
• With the Davis Wigs Supply Company I increased sales and revenue by initiating the use of accessories for those wearing wigs. I suggested terry cloth turbans, scarfs, clips and hair spray and gloss spray. To the surprise of my manager, she offered me a monthly commission of all sales made on the wig accessories. In the end we both made out by a decision I chose to run by her.
