As a former Epic Systems employee, Corey planted his roots in healthcare IT as a manager in the Revenue Cycle Implementation Team at Epic. There, he quickly established himself as an expert and thrived, eventually making the decision several years later to join the Best in KLAS, Epic consulting firm Sagacious Consultants. Corey helped Sagacious develop their Strategic Revenue practice and played an integral role in helping guide the firm through acquisition by Accenture in 2015. Before joining Incisive, Kosch held the role of Senior Manager while at Accenture where he helped lead the Provider Revenue Cycle practice and was responsible for increasing revenue and developing practice offerings and assets for the organization. “Corey has such a unique background that fully captures both the technical and the operational components of our industry” said Chris Blackerby, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “He chose to get his MBA while leading Strategic Revenue for us at Sagacious, which I thought was extremely impressive, which has now led him to be an incredibly valuable addition to Incisive.”
“It’s great to be back with such an amazing group. I am thrilled to take on the challenges that are to come and to help grow a firm that wants to support both healthcare organizations and consultants. We’re in an excellent position to help healthcare organizations achieve their strategic goals through optimization of their technology platforms. Additionally, I am really looking forward to leading our new Intrapreneur Program that offers a growth platform for individuals who want to take their unique service ideas to market” says Kosch.
