About the role
At Tulea Health, we are compassionate partners seeking to elevate the infusion experience for patients through collaboration with the health systems that serve them. We create industry‑leading Ambulatory Infusion Centers that deliver comfortable, consistent, caring therapy experiences personalized for each patient.

You will build, lead, and develop a team of revenue cycle professionals, and integrate with our customer and clinical operations teams as well as with our health system partners to sustain the ongoing financial health of our infusion center operations. This role will set the vision for, and continuously and measurably improve, the efficiency and effectiveness of our client‑focused revenue cycle processes across the portfolio.
