Health Provider Revenue Cycle Manager

Job Description

Consulting professionals at Accenture belong to one of three workgroups: Management Consulting, Systems Integration Consulting or Technology Consulting. These workgroups enable us to deliver the increasingly specialized skills that clients demand while providing our people with varied career opportunities.

Our management consultants have the opportunity to work and collaborate with colleagues from across the full spectrum of consulting activity: identifying and creatively solving complex problems, designing and re-engineering critical processes, and fundamentally transforming the way a company operates.  Our management consultants are more than just theorists - they turn theory into action.  Acting as trusted advisors to our clients, they work directly with FORTUNE© Global 500 companies across many different industry sectors.  They concentrate on getting a holistic view of a client's business and industry environment and use their expertise and critical thinking skills to design and deliver realistic, achievable business strategies and solutions that address key client priorities.

Much of the work we do is at the cutting edge of innovation and thinking. We involve our consultants in publishing and sharing this knowledge as thought leadership to benefit clients, industry and fellow colleagues.

You are:

As a Health Provider Revenue Cycle Manager, you lead and support revenue cycle transformations for complex provider organizations such as AMCs, IDNs, and large medical groups. You have working knowledge across the full revenue cycle: patient access, prior authorization, mid-cycle revenue integrity, and back-end operations. You know how to take an engagement from assessment through implementation, and you hold yourself accountable for results.

You build relationships with CROs, Revenue Cycle VPs, and operational leaders, and you know how to communicate findings in a way that leads to action. You’re comfortable managing up and managing across, keeping clients aligned, teams moving, and workstreams on track. You understand that good transformation work isn’t just about recommendations; it’s about bringing people along with you.

You keep up with what’s changing in the industry, from AI and automation to prior authorization reform, value-based reimbursement, and shifting payer dynamics, and you can help clients think through what those changes mean for their operations. You also know how to develop people, and you take that part of the job seriously.
