Financial Leadership Role

This role supports a critical gap in financial leadership across our transplant programs. It ensures that financial processes, operations, and contracting align with overall program strategy and goals.

Current challenges include :

  • Financial clearance processes vary by program and lack standardization
  • Policies and procedures for the financial clearance process are not fully established
  • Limited understanding of transplant networks and their operational requirements
  • Inconsistent tracking of KACC and future SACC accruals, as well as physician reimbursements
  • Clinical leadership is carrying financial tasks that fall outside their expertise
  • No established global billing processes
  • Without this, the program will be unable to contract with Optum, the largest transplant network

Risk mitigation includes :

  • Reducing inconsistent billing and coding practices
  • Preventing missed reimbursement opportunities and delays in patient clearance
  • Lowering compliance risk and improving audit readiness
  • Role responsibilities include :

  • Develop and implement standardized financial workflows for transplant programs across the market
  • Lead payer strategy, contract alignment, and reimbursement optimization for transplant services
  • Oversee transplant revenue cycle functions including pre-authorization, billing, and collections
  • Partner closely with transplant clinical leadership, managed care, patient access, and compliance teams
  • Monitor and report key performance indicators such as denial rates, reimbursement yield, clearance time, and month-end metrics
  • Identify financial risks and implement corrective actions to ensure audit readiness and maintain compliance
  • Support strategic growth initiatives and the expansion of transplant services
  • Education requirements include :

  • High School diploma equivalency with 5 years of applicable cumulative job specific experience required, with 2 of those years being in leadership / management OR Associate's degree / Bachelor's degree with 3 years of applicable cumulative job specific experience required, with 2 of those years being in leadership / management.
  • Additional preferences include :

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Healthcare Administration, or related field (Master's preferred)
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in healthcare finance or revenue cycle leadership preferred
  • Deep understanding of transplant program operations, payer requirements, and regulatory standards
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive measurable financial outcomes
  • Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
