COLUMBUS, Ga., July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Aspirion, a technology-leading healthcare revenue
cycle management ("RCM") company for denials, underpayments, and
complex claims, today announced the appointment of Doug Hebenthal as its new Chief Technology
Officer ("CTO"), effective immediately. As the new CTO and Chief
Compliance Officer, Hebenthal will spearhead Aspirion's technology
strategy, oversee all aspects of software development,
infrastructure, and information technology, and will also have
accountability for compliance and security. Concurrently,
Steven Filchock, who has served as
CTO since 2018, will transition to an advisory role within the
company as he begins his transition to retirement.
"We're thrilled to welcome Doug
Hebenthal, whose exceptional technical vision and leadership
will be invaluable to Aspirion," said Amy
Amick, CEO of Aspirion. "Doug's extensive experience and
innovation track record mindset will be crucial in advancing our
technology initiatives, particularly in the strategic integration
of artificial intelligence technologies across our workforce
automation. At the same time, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to
Steven Filchock for his significant
contributions to Aspirion's success. As Steven transitions to
retirement, we wish him the very best and are grateful for the
lasting legacy he leaves as the founder of our Compass workflow
management platform. I look forward to his continued guidance in an
advisory capacity. With this transition, we're confident in our
ability to continue building upon our strong technology foundation
and further advancing our position as an industry leader."
With a history of spearheading technological advancements across
diverse sectors, Hebenthal contributes deep expertise and a
demonstrated ability to foster innovation. His distinguished career
includes leadership positions at several major tech companies, such
as Microsoft, Amazon, Change Healthcare, Axiom, and Knowable.
Throughout his tenure, he has effectively led complex high-impact
projects, consistently translating advanced technology into
practical solutions, enabling scale, and building high-performing
teams. He was an early innovator in internet technologies and
pioneered the application of AI and machine learning to enterprise
contract analysis—transforming legal documents into structured
data, enabling organizations to gain clear visibility into their
contractual risks and obligations.
"I'm excited to join Aspirion, a company that has already
established itself as the leader in healthcare revenue cycle
management," said Doug Hebenthal.
"Aspirion's innovative approach and continued material investment
in cutting-edge technologies have set the standard in the RCM
industry. I look forward to building on this strong foundation,
leveraging my experience to further enhance our impact through
technology and drive digital transformation. My goal is to ensure
that Aspirion not only maintains its leadership position but
continues to revolutionize the RCM landscape. Together with the
exceptional team here, we'll push the boundaries of what's
possible, delivering even greater value to our clients and
ultimately improving the financial health of healthcare providers
across the nation."
Aspirion also acknowledges Filchock's significant contributions
as the outgoing CTO. Under Filchock's leadership, the company
achieved critical advancements that positioned it at the RCM
industry's forefront. His pioneering approach accelerated
Aspirion's progress and set new standards for excellence. The
organization expresses profound gratitude for Filchock's
transformative work, which has established a strong foundation for
Aspirion's continued success and innovation.
"Looking back on my tenure at Aspirion, I'm deeply appreciative
of the extraordinary path we've traveled together," Filchock
remarked. "As I transition from my role as CTO, I'm confident in
the company's bright future under Doug's guidance. I eagerly
anticipate witnessing Aspirion's ongoing success and
innovations."
