Master enterprise-level revenue cycle management (RCM) and medical billing for US healthcare. This expert program advances revenue cycle management, medical billing, prior authorization, medical coding, payment posting, high-complexity healthcare claims, denial management, and AR management/AR calling—tied directly to medical records and payer policy. You’ll operationalize pricing and CMS 1500/CMS 1450 governance, design actuarial payer contracting, engineer FHIR/X12 integrations, and lead cross-functional leadership initiatives that accelerate cash, reduce risk, and scale outcomes across systems, MSOs, and digital health.
This course is designed to help senior RCM leaders apply expert strategies across pricing, contracts, documentation, pharmacy/340B, interoperability, post-acute, and litigation support—grounded in real operations, not theory. Whether you direct billing, coding, AR, pharmacy revenue, or enterprise EDI, you’ll build operating models, data pipelines, and governance that scale.
You’ll engineer the enterprise revenue engine: optimize chargemaster, model payer contracts actuarially, integrate PBM/340B, standardize complex episodes (transplant, NICU, behavioral health, SUD), and deploy FHIR/X12 with edit orchestration and SLA routing. Drive value-based ops (ACO/MSO/IPA), forecast denials/AR with ML, and harden privacy/security beyond HIPAA.
