Background

About Alexander Lizzo

As a dedicated finance and software development professional at Nuvance Health, I play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the information used to determine Medicare and Medicaid rates. My team and I are responsible for the regulatory filings with CMS and the NYS Department of Health, ensuring compliance with complex and ever-evolving healthcare regulations. Throughout my career, I have leveraged my financial expertise, developed at Manhattan College, to excel in tasks such as preparing cost reports for government agencies, conducting thorough audits, and generating accurate revenue budgets and forecasts. My analytical skills have been instrumental in performing monthly variance analysis, providing valuable insights that support informed decision-making. Recently, I have expanded my skill set by incorporating software development techniques learned during my night coursework at Marist College. This additional knowledge has enabled me to enhance my contributions to Nuvance Health by developing sophisticated tools and automating processes that streamline data management. For example, I have created Microsoft Access tools using ADOX and DAO Objects, allowing for efficient SQL queries across large datasets stored in Excel. Additionally, I designed and implemented VBA macros to automate report generation, significantly reducing manual data manipulation and improving overall efficiency. Earning my HFMA Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP) certification in 2023 has further solidified my commitment to maintaining high standards in healthcare finance. I am passionate about continuing to integrate my finance and software development expertise to drive innovation and deliver impactful results within the healthcare industry.
