Team Summary Our Collector R&D teams are building new and evolving services for athenahealth customers. We work on solving complex business problems for a broad set of stakeholders, including customers, internal technology-enabled services teams, and multiple BPO vendors. Much of this work involves designing and implementing workflows that manage large volumes of claim resolution activity, with a focus on improving visibility, throughput, and operational consistency.
