Summer Internship: MediRevv


By: Salvatore Lopez (MHA '20)
Hello folks! This summer I’ve had the opportunity to intern with MediRevv located in the University of Iowa’s Research Park in Coralville. MediRevv is a revenue cycle management firm that assists healthcare organizations in generating revenue and improving cashflows. MediRevv provides a wide array of services to healthcare providers such as maximizing self-pay programs through propensity to pay and patient interaction technology, in addition to providing expert level coding services to reduce claim denials and improve coding accuracy. In the past few weeks, MediRevv has appeared on The Becker’s Healthcare “Top 150 Places to Work in Healthcare” list for 2019 and the Corridor Business Journal “Fastest Growing Companies” list that features companies that have made significant contributions to their local economies.
One of the first things that became apparent to me as I began my internship at MediRevv was the emphasis on culture. The level in which workplace culture is valued at MediRevv is unparallel compared to my past work experiences. The “MediRevv Mindset” guides its culture to find the right balance between partners, people and performance. The balance is achieved through three mottos – Anticipate Change, Innovate & Grow; Be Authentic, Even Weird; and Work Hard, Play Hard. These mottos illuminate the inclusive and exciting culture MediRevv aims to create. 

Although I’ve only been at MediRevv for two weeks, I am incredibly excited for the summer ahead of me. I’ve begun work on projects related to redesigning our patient pay service line and assisting our marketing team on new initiatives and ongoing projects. Working underneath Iowa MHA alumnus Chris Klitgaard, founder and CEO of MediRevv, has allowed me to join projects from virtually any department at MediRevv. I hope to gain as much experience and knowledge as possible from my unique internship this summer.

 Outside of work, I was recently able to travel south to Nashville, Tennessee with some of my family to enjoy world famous barbeque and more live country music than any other place on earth. Although I love traveling, I’m exited to spend my summer nights and weekends in Iowa City enjoying the many community and arts festivals throughout the summer. Feel free to reach out to me and learn more about my summer experiences at MediRevv and in Iowa City!

Konnichiwa from Japan!   As I sit down to write this blog post, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and accomplishment as I reflect on my time as an intern at Nihon Keiei Consulting Group in Osaka, Japan. This summer has been nothing short of remarkable, offering me a unique blend of professional development and cultural immersion that I will cherish forever.   During my time at Nihon Keiei, I had the opportunity to engage in in-depth research and analysis, creating comprehensive market profiles for the healthcare sectors in the Philippines and India. These profiles laid the foundation for strategic expansion plans, and it was an honor to present my findings and recommendations to a senior consultant during insightful one-on-one meetings. These interactions were not only professionally enriching but also allowed me to witness firsthand how strategic decisions shape the course of an organization's growth.   One of the most rewarding experiences during my internship was t...

This summer, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Finance and Accounting Services team (FAS) at the University of Iowa. My internship allowed me to better understand what it is like to work in finance and accounting, especially within the healthcare industry. From managing a vaccination clinic project to tackling financial models, I got to contribute to some and be a part of some fun projects. One of the highlights of my internship was being the go-to person for all things related to the HPV vaccination clinic with the Population Health team. This project provides Shoes for patients under 13 years old who obtain their 2 nd  dose of the HPV vaccine. I found myself at the center of communication between four different teams, which meant I got to lead meetings, and make sure we were all on the same page. Our big event is coming up in the second week of August, and I am proud of how smoothly everything has been running so far.  Another big part of my summer was getting my han...
