Who I Work With

Start · Manage · Grow · Optimize

Four pathways for athenahealth practices, based on where you actually are.

I keep the work focused on where the pressure is now — not a generic onboarding checklist.

Start

Go-live and first-claim readiness

Practice configuration, user roles, and workflow setup aligned to how your team actually operates
Payer setup, fee schedules, and clearinghouse routing validated before go-live
Template and scheduling configuration tied to clinical and billing reality
First-claim validation and staff workflow training focused on athena's specifics

Manage

Clean up the day-to-day

Denial and follow-up patterns traced to root cause, not just reworked
Claim follow-up cadence assigned to real people with real queues in athena
Reporting cleaned up so leadership gets actionable numbers, not vanity dashboards
Prior authorization and eligibility flow tightened inside athena

Grow

Scale without breaking what works

Multi-provider and multi-location onboarding sequenced through athena
Group NPI, billing, and rendering provider relationships configured correctly
New service lines added without creating new billing exceptions
Credentialing and athena setup aligned so new hires bill on day one of ready

Optimize

Add AI, automation, and reporting that actually move the needle

AI documentation tools that actually fit athena's note structure
Automated eligibility, insurance verification, and prior-auth workflows
Custom reports and dashboards for the decisions leadership makes monthly
Workflow automation between athena, clearinghouse, and patient communication

Why Me

athenahealth is a powerful system and an easy one to misconfigure. We help practices avoid the expensive mistakes and get the platform actually earning the way it is supposed to.

Common Questions

What practices usually ask before we start.

Do you help with athenahealth migrations?

Yes. Migration sequencing is one of the most common starting points. We help you plan the switch so billing does not stall during the transition.

Can you help if we use athenahealth's in-house RCM?

Yes. We work with athenaCollector, external billing companies, and self-billing practices. The workflow is the priority.

What about reporting and dashboards?

We help clean up athena's reports so leadership gets the answers they actually need instead of raw data dumps.

How long does a first engagement take?

Depends on scope. Most starting reviews are a few focused conversations and a short list of changes.
