About Andre Smith

Transformational healthcare leader with over 15 years of experience across long-term care, community health, and specialty medical practices—including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and rheumatology-based infusion centers. I specialize in optimizing operations and revenue cycle management (RCM) within IV infusion suites, helping organizations grow sustainable, patient-focused infusion programs that meet the highest standards of clinical and financial performance.As a consultant and public speaker, I bring deep knowledge of biologic therapy coordination, medical billing and coding, and infusion suite workflows. I help providers navigate payer complexities, compliance challenges, and reimbursement pitfalls—especially in the evolving specialty medication landscape. My strategic insights have supported clinics in achieving measurable improvements in cash flow, patient access, and regulatory readiness.A passionate advocate for health equity and specialty care access, I also serve on national committees, engage in policy advocacy, and build relationships across the healthcare ecosystem—from patients and providers to legislators and insurers. Whether leading initiatives in revenue integrity or testifying on Capitol Hill, I am committed to driving systems-level change that improves outcomes and puts patients first.
