Strategic Radiology announced Wednesday, Sept. 12, that Sharon Fremer is the company’s new vice president of revenue cycle optimization.

Fremer has previously served as an executive for Precyse Solutions, Medaphis Physician Services, Cardinal Health, RevenueMed and IPG. At Strategic Radiology, she will “lead an organization-wide revenue cycle optimization program aimed at identifying and driving best practices implementation for the improved financial viability of its individual members.”

“I am excited to be working with Strategic Radiology and many of the nation’s finest independent radiology groups to further their mission to improve lives by creating superior radiology value,” Fremer said in a prepared statement. “The reimbursement environment in radiology today requires diligence and discipline at every level of the revenue cycle chain.”

“The complexities of the medical revenue cycle process present a challenge to all of our members,” Randal Roat, Strategic Radiology COO, said in the same statement. “Sharon brings commercial experience, management techniques, strategies, analytics and tools to Strategic Radiology members.”
