Mike built his career from the ground up, progressing through hands-on roles in medical billing and revenue cycle operations into senior leadership and management positions overseeing large-scale healthcare operations. His experience spans both In-Network and Out-of-Network healthcare environments, with a strong focus on maximizing collections, reducing A/R, improving operational efficiency, strengthening payer relationships, and building scalable processes for healthcare organizations.

Throughout his career, Mike has worked across multiple specialties and healthcare service lines, managing complex revenue-cycle functions from patient and insurance billing through claims, payment posting, accounts receivable, denials, appeals, authorizations, referrals, credentialing, and collections.
