JON BOGENREIF

As the CEO at Noridian Healthcare Solutions, he provides executive leadership and direction, advocates for a life of engagement and leads a workforce of nearly 2,000 employees to strive daily to solve complex health care challenges in order to serve people behind the claims.

Noridian’s services include claims processing, review, contact center and provider administrative services at a large scale. Under Bogenreif’s leadership, the company processed more than 266 million Medicare and Medicaid claims in 2022.

Bogenreif grew up in a rural environment and has driven a national conversation on supporting rural health care providers. Under his leadership, Noridian has led the company to have a real impact on the financial health of rural providers by processing claims swiftly and ensuring deserved and expected cash flow. The company has added a new contract to support the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in implementing a nationwide suicide prevention grant program. This diversified the company’s offerings as well as serves Bogenreif’s people-first vision of engagement. The grant program is for local organizations to develop and implement strategies to support veterans. Noridian has a role as a subcontractor, sharing training expertise with grant awardees.

Bogenreif’s leadership has allowed the company to launch two mentoring programs, one aimed at helping high-potential leaders at Noridian level-up and ready themselves for executive level leadership, and one aimed at high-potential individual contributors who are interested in pursuing leadership roles. Volunteer paid time off was also doubled in 2022, which grew from Bogenreif’s people-first philosophy, allowing paid volunteer time to include 16 hours.

He has found that being engaged in the community and the work makes both the employee and the company better. Bogenreif encourages employees to ask questions about why the organization does certain things, know how their role fits with Noridian’s goal to make access to health care services easy for those served by programs the company supports, and suggest ideas to improve the way things are done.

“When we are engaged, we find a richness in our work experience, and we are better for it – both personally as a company,” he said.
