Amanda joined Comprehensive Counseling, a LearnWell company, in 2021 to help strengthen payor relations. In 2012, she attained a Bachelor’s of Science from Stony Brook University, with a concentration in Healthcare Administration. Immediately upon graduation, interned at a large practice management organization evolving into a permanent position. The company offered revenue cycle management, credentialing, and contracting services.
As the Credentialing and Contracting Coordinator, Amanda and the CEO worked conjointly to negotiate fair and equitable reimbursement rates for 150+ physicians of various specialties. In this role, she gained exposure to all aspects of healthcare management, including contract negotiations, credentialing, coding, compliance, EDI and ERA enrollment, and denial management.
