About Nathan Bushlow

Transformational revenue cycle executive with a proven track record of driving enterprise-level financial performance, automation, and operational excellence across multi-site organizations. Skilled in aligning revenue strategy with company objectives and utilizing technology to maximize cash flow and minimize bad debt all while REDUCING staffing needs. Known for building high performing teams and implementing automation that cuts costs and improves financial health.I began my career in academic research at Purdue University. I enjoyed the challenge and rigor of neuroscience research, but found it moved a bit too slow for my taste. I used my experience in research to gain employment analyzing and assessing medical billing data. I now combine by experience in experemental design and medical billing analytics to design and implement creative automated solutions to revenue cycle operations. In my current role, I oversee all revenue cycle functions for Autism Learning Partners. I completed my masters degree in business administration at Pepperdine University and am a certified professional coder. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children, cooking, and reading and discussing philosophy and theology.
