With over a decade of experience in the healthcare payer industry, Laurie Kirkland is particularly attuned to the needs of healthcare payer organizations. After attaining her Bachelor of Arts degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California Santa Barbara, Kirkland started out working for several years as an advertising coordinator for trade show publications where she helped clients to market their products in industry magazines.

Kirkland served nine years as Director of Business Development for a large full-service clearinghouse firm that offers healthcare providers an array of revenue-cycle management services, including a practice management system, electronic health records, and a patient health registry. She was involved in both payer and provider contracting and worked closely with payers to streamline their EDI processes, make their claim shops more efficient, and reduce their costs. During this time, she helped grow the clearinghouse’s payer list from hundreds of payers to over 5,000 payers for their providers to choose from. In that same time, the number of providers that sent claims to her clearinghouse grew from thousands to well over 150,000.
