G. Darrell Hulsey has built a 35-year career in healthcare management, serving both as an entrepreneur and executive. Since 2016, he has led Professional Billing, Inc. (PBI) as CEO, a company that delivers revenue cycle and practice management services to physician practices across more than 15 states.

Alongside his professional responsibilities, he has been dedicated to philanthropy for more than three decades, giving his time and resources to charitable causes. His career began in 1991 when Darrell Hulsey joined CompMed/Medaphis Physician Services, now part of McKesson, as a Senior Operations Manager. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, he oversaw hospital-based physician practices in four states. His work involved negotiating reimbursement agreements, managing contractual arrangements with third-party payors, and building new business opportunities in several regions.

Darrell held multiple leadership roles within the company, contributing significantly to its growth and long-term success. In 1998, the business was acquired by CBIZ, where he became Vice President and later President and CEO. When MMP returned to private ownership in 2013, he continued to guide its operations until transitioning to his role at PBI in 2016. During his tenure at MMP, the company managed over 34 million procedures, processed $5 billion in client charges, and collected more than $2 billion in client revenues. SEC filings reported top-line revenue of $165 million with earnings of $21 million. In his years at MMP, he was engaged in all parts of the business, from operations and compliance to IT, HR, finance, and mergers. As President and CEO from 2007 to 2013, he increased revenue from $90 million to $165 million, consolidated 12 billing systems into four, reduced staff count by about 35%, and lowered overall operating costs by more than 45%.
