Ben Cobin (MHA '22): MediRevv - Iowa City

 Hello Everyone! 

This summer, I have had the incredible opportunity to intern with MediRevv in Iowa City. Founded by Chris Klitgaard, a program alum, MediRevv is a Revenue Cycle Management company that has grown like wildfire in the last ten years. At MediRevv, we work on the financial side of healthcare, making sure patients are billed correctly, and payments flow to healthcare organizations effectively. There is so much more than I could have imagined that goes into this process, and MediRevv does an incredible job making the process streamlined and efficient.

MediRevv works with clients across the country, which means I have had great exposure to how different healthcare systems function and how different policies impact them. We serve clients in many capacities, from full end-to-end management to singular aspects of the revenue cycle. Patients can be patient pay, commercially insured, or insured by the government. This makes work at MediRevv dynamic and challenging as I am constantly learning about new sectors of our organization.

I am currently part of many projects at MediRevv across nearly every department here. I work with Chris and the senior leadership team, where I help with projects in finance, operations, human resources, marketing, and data analytics. One of the projects I am working on is creating a financial dashboard for the senior leadership team. This displays metrics like cont margin and monthly revenue so the leaders can keep a pulse on our financial health. I am also helping with internal analytics like measuring printing productivity and assisting on the newly launched data science project. At the same time, MediRevv is growing exponentially, and getting to be a part of high-level meetings and conversations has been an invaluable experience.

Outside of work, I have been enjoying a relaxing summer in Iowa City. I spend most of my free time with my best friend Leo, exploring trails and parks throughout Iowa (I’m sure there is a picture of us on this post). I have a trip planned for Michigan in July, and then I’m going to Paris the first week of August! Overall, this summer has been a blast, and it has really flown by. I’m excited to hear about my classmate's experiences and looking forward to a great second (and final) year at our program!

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...
