Mary Arthur
Senior VP of Operations

Mary Arthur has been with NCC for more than 21 years. She possesses more than 18 years of experience in collections call center operations and over 25 years of experience in healthcare revenue cycle management.

Mary began working in the patient accounting department of a Northern Virginia hospital when the original UB82 was introduced. Understanding that the front end of the revenue cycle was as important as the patient accounting office, Mary gained experience as a registration supervisor. Once Mary had learned the revenue cycle for the hospital, Mary ventured into management of a multi-physician specialty practice in order to better understand the revenue cycle from the physicians’ perspective.

In 1988 Mary accepted a new challenge working for the company handling the disposition of properties from the largest real estate bankruptcy in the United States. Mary was extensively involved with bankruptcy rules, as well as the intricacies of state laws and working with the recording offices in multiple counties spread across 36 states. She oversaw a network of title agencies, worked as a liaison between the legal department and title agencies, and was responsible for the coordination of investor sales.

Upon the company’s successful completion of this project for the US bankruptcy court, Mary applied to NCC. Mary has been responsible for the leadership, execution, and enforcement of organizational initiatives while maximizing capital and human resources and facilitating process improvement. Mary has been instrumental in development and monitoring of training and compliance programs for FDCPA, FCRA, HIPAA, etc., as well as implementation of operational standards.

Throughout her tenure with NCC, Mary has consistently worked on relationship building with our clients, fostering a mutual respect for the value of our business relationship as we continue to work through each new challenge together.
