Her Story

About Tiffany

I started my career in healthcare about 17 years ago when I took an entry-level customer service job for a healthcare claims clearinghouse around 2009-2010. I learned how to read 837 EDI healthcare claim files and resolve rejections in that format - it was really a niche that you can't go to school for. I engulfed myself in healthcare and worked my way up through leadership roles - I was a team lead, then a supervisor, then a manager, and a senior manager. Eventually I moved to sales at that company. Since then, I've taken different jobs at different seats at the healthcare table. I worked for a rare disease specialty pharmacy, helped stand up a self-funded plan, worked for a local Medicare Advantage plan, and gained experience from the payer piece, the provider piece, and the rare disease specialty pharmacy piece. These different feathers in my hat really make me effective in my current role today as Senior Strategic Account Manager for a healthcare payment integrity company focused on AI and agentic agents.

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

I would say healthcare is a great field to get into. You can start at an entry-level role and you can make a career. The things that we learn in healthcare, you get that degree, yes, do that. I got my degree when I was at that entry-level job, working customer service. They did tuition reimbursement, I took advantage of that. I took advantage of all of the things that they gave me, but you can build a career because the things that we learn at the healthcare table, some of them on the administrative side, there's no school for that. You become very knowledgeable and well-versed, and very valuable in this profession, because healthcare is complicated. It's just hard. But once you have that knowledge, you can take it with you anywhere you go, and really build a great career for yourself. There's no degree that's going to teach you how to read an 837 ANSI EDI claim or how to write rules for claims adjudication.
