Insurance Billing and Revenue Cycle Management Services for Independent Mental Health and Medical Practices
I have help roles in commercial lending, been assigned to projects to improve processes (including resolution of $22MM in receivables), and currently my role as Director of Business Development and Operations for a medical billing and revenue cycle management company, have given me vast experience in improving processes, mitigating expense, leveraging new and existing partnerships to increase revenue, all leading to increases in profit margins and record gross and NET revenue.
Sean Kayea,
Director Of Business Operations at Augusta University Health
As a healthcare administrator with eleven years experience my career has developed during a period of rapid change in the health care economic landscape. I share no preconceived notions of the way things were or ought to be. Instead I endeavor to forge new paths lead through the prism of population health and coupled by concepts of total quality management, and continuous process improvement. Healthcare occupies a unique space in the United States economy. Few, if any, other markets have the complex relational layers between consumers, and service providers. It takes a strong voice dedicated to driving value for its organization to manage these relationships. My tenure in healthcare has been steadfast in the pursuit of generating value. I have been the principle negotiator for a multimillion dollar partnership to supply my organization with surgical capital resources necessary to not only deliver the highest standard of care, but also provide allowances for evolving technology. In my latest role I have driven cost savings initiatives utilizing data analytics to eliminating $1 million dollars in redundant/wasted medical surgical inventory. I function daily as a resource of information for fellow leaders in the organization. I provide data analytics to assist our clinical, and c-suite leadership with decision making that steer the organization into the future. Financial management accomplishments include increasing our gross margin per surgical case by 9% in our last fiscal year. A large contribution to that effort was my development of a productive labor monitoring tool that saved the organization $1.2 million since inception. I relish the opportunity to discuss the future of healthcare economics with my peers and drive change through information. Thank you.

Jed Goldar
Principal
By way of brief introduction, I am a physician executive leader with 25 years’ experience in population health and health care management, with a career-long dual-focus — using knowledge and know-how to drive health care organization performance improvement through re-engineering solutions innovation for delivering Quadruple Aim defined health care value (i.e., meaningful, measurable, sustainable population health status improvement, at lowest possible cost, with optimal patient and provider experience) — and discovering new ways of using finite resources to better serve all system constituents, including patients, providers and payers. Expertise in value adding population health and health care management endeavors encompasses: utilization management program design, development, executive oversight, and involvement in nationwide peer to-peer review across the full population age spectrum and commercial/government sponsored health care insurance sectors to assure provision of medically necessary, evidenced based, high-value behavioral health care; health care policy development and operational implementation; data/analytics and informatics application for delivering actionable clinical and business information, health care quality improvement, including promoting health related behavior change to close provider evidence-base/practice pattern gaps and improve patient adherence with recommended, evidence-based treatment; and provider network development and management. My leadership approach in system-level performance solutions innovation and implementation is founded on a teamwork, collaborative change management strategy — especially in provider practice pattern modification and disruptive innovation adoption scenarios, which necessitate customer relationship building and management through strategic value proposition communication that connects with values, beliefs and expectations of all involved stakeholders. Physician executive roles for nationally recognized health care management organizations include Evolent Health, The Advisory Board Company, Optum Behavioral Health Solutions, APS Healthcare, Value Behavioral Health, and The Prudential Insurance Company. In addition, I am Founder and Principal of Innovative Healthcare Works, a health care consulting practice leveraging over 2 decades of physician executive population and health care management leadership experience, focused on optimizing value of finite health care resources through evidence-based, health information technology enabled end to end solutions innovation and application, research and product development such as digital therapeutics, strategic value proposition communication, and building collaborative, strategic alliances with key opinion and thought leaders. I am also senior consultant with Open Minds Behavioral Health Market Research and Management Consulting.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
