INDIANAPOLIS – Rehab Medical has appointed Michael Farrell to the newly created position of vice president of regulatory and funding. With nearly two decades of health care experience, Farrell has worked as a compliance consultant for various providers and previously served as vice president of revenue cycle management for UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Optum. “I’ve been in the health care industry 15 years, providing operational guidance so facilities could build solid teams and implement processes that improved their efficiencies,” Farrell said. “With my transition to Rehab Medical, I’m not only able to provide operational guidance, but I’m also part of the implementation process, and that excites me the most about my role.” Farrell’s primary responsibility will be to create processes and procedures that align with insurance carrier policies. He will collaborate with the compliance team to ensure adherence to Medicaid and Medicare regulations, while also partnering with the payer relations team to prevent excessive audits, reduce insurance denials and expedite claim submissions.
