How I got here.
I started in claims operations in the mid-1990s with Humana, then moved to Arizona with United Healthcare, HealthChoice, and Schaller Anderson. I learned the trade by doing the trade. Every claims platform I know, I learned by touching it, breaking it, fixing it, then training someone else to do the same.
In New York, I joined the Tri-State managed-care ecosystem. Elderplan at Metropolitan Jewish Health System, Healthfirst, Zelis Healthcare, Affinity Health Plan. I led claims operations through an $18M HealthRules migration with zero critical defects at go-live. I reduced 73,000 aged claims to 13,000 in six months. I designed the first full appeals and call-center structure at a payment integrity vendor. I generated $2.5M in COB savings at 6.1 ROI inside a New York Medicaid and Medicare regulated environment.
Claims has been the through-line for 25 years. Not a specialty, the entire operation. In New York I designed the full claims operation from the ground up, with distinct subdivisions each staffed, trained, and measured:
- Appeals · first-level and second-level appeals with regulatory turnaround SLAs
- Cost containment · payment integrity, coding review, overpayment recovery
- Call center structure · member and provider service scripting, escalation trees, quality assurance
- Reconciliations · daily, monthly, and year-end financial and claim-level reconciliations
- Reconsiderations · pre-appeal review workflow and provider dispute resolution
- Auditing · internal claim audit cycles, regulator-facing audit prep, root cause reporting
- DHS regulatory case handling · designed the intake, tracking, and response process for New York Department of Health regulatory cases and member grievances, including regulator-facing SLAs and executive escalation paths
- Training · onboarding curriculum, upskilling, and cross-training for the entire claims workforce
- Special Projects Unit · dedicated team for platform migrations, regulatory change, and executive mandates
- Robotic Process Automation · designed and deployed software automation for repetitive claim tasks including adjustments, status queries, and letter generation
- Corrected claims and Coordination of Benefits (COB) processing · introduced structured routing and processing workflows for corrected claims and coordination of benefits
- Executive reporting and KPI framework · architected the operational KPI framework and C-suite reporting cadence, translating claims-floor performance (throughput, aging inventory, appeal cycle times, first-pass adjudication rate, provider network compliance, financial recovery) into board-ready dashboards reviewed monthly by executive leadership and quarterly by regulators
Then Minnesota. Six years with UCare Health Plans through the NTT DATA partnership. I designed and delivered the Claims Workforce Onboarding Academy from scratch. I built 20+ eLearning modules covering Technical Configuration and Complex Claims Processing across 1,000+ hours of instructional content in Cornerstone LMS. I led the GuidingCare eligibility transformation from legacy LOB and Plan structures to a modernized six-level hierarchy. I architected enterprise digital hubs: Learning and Development Communications Site, Change in Motion, Provider Network Management ServiceNow Center.
In December 2025 I founded GGenesis Strategic Solutions LLC in Broussard, Louisiana. GGenesis is where all of it comes together: over 25 years of operational depth, named methodologies (Cost-to-Revenue Method™, Operational Translation Sprint™, Change Impact Crosswalk™), and original products in market. CaliberSuite™ filed with USPTO. Talvori™ in active development.
I serve clients nationally, virtually first. Health plans, small business owners across service industries, coaches and consultants ready to scale. Louisiana boutique consulting. Founder-led every engagement.
