Clyde LaForest’s Experience

• Staff Associate (J.D.) - Healthcare Reimbursement & Compliance

  AHC, Inc.

  (Legal Services industry)

  September 2007 — Present (1 year 4 months)

  This position combines reimbursement and compliance responsibilities in the healthcare industry. My clients are hospitals whose patients’ health plans have denied or underpaid their claims for reimbursement. My job ultimately is to ensure that the payers fully reimburse my clients as required by law and contract. When they refuse to comply with their obligations, I vigorously advocate to obtain what my clients are owed.

• Compliance Solutions Consultant

  Alliant Diagnostics, Inc. (now Navicus, Inc.)

  (Management Consulting industry)

  July 2006 — September 2007 (1 year 3 months)

  This position combined professional consultation and business-development duties. My clients were human resources professionals and third-party recruiters/headhunters who needed effective pre-hire background-screening and substance-testing programs that complied with each one’s unique combination of federal and state law and industry requirements, while still identifying potentially bad hires. I provided the regulatory and technical advice necessary for designing the programs, and then by coordinating with the company’s services providers we implemented the programs on a functional level.

• Account Executive

  Market Traders Institute North America, Inc.

  (Professional Training & Coaching industry)

  2005 — 2006 (1 year)

  This position was a commissions-only business-development role, providing advice on how the company's training programs could best serve the prospective client's needs, and negotiating over price to achieve the greatest number of sales at the highest possible price. (This company no longer is in business.)

• Sales Representative

  U.S. Metal Buildings

  (Construction industry)

  2005 — 2006 (1 year)

  This position was a telemarketing role selling pre-manufactured metal building kits.

• Active-Duty Military Service

  U.S. Air Force

  (Military industry)

  1995 — 1998 (3 years)

  Served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from Jan. 1995 to July 1998 and was honorably discharged; was awarded a Below-the-Zone promotion and the Air Force Commendation Medal; and was selected the Airman of the Quarter (squadron, group, wing) and the Airman of the Year (squadron, group) of local units as indicated.

• Contract Quality Assurance Evaluator

  6th Civil Engineer Squadron, MacDill AFB, Fla.

  (Military industry)

  January 1996 — May 1998 (2 years 5 months)

  Ensured that a private contractor complied with all contractual obligations and a multitude of federal, state and military laws and regulations, in connection with the multi-million-dollar basewide grounds-maintenance/ landscaping contract. Designed and specified special projects, drafted statements of work, and negotiated contract modifications as needed. Reviewed contractor invoices for accuracy prior to forwarding for payment.
  
  This assignment was with the 6th Civil Engineer Squadron at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. during the active-duty military service described below.
