GULFPORT, FL, August 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jeff Kiger has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Kiger currently serves as Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management at Sage Clinical RCM in St. Petersburg, Florida, a position he has held since 2026. In this role, he supports the company's outsourcing division and helps lead the operational transition and integration of recently acquired revenue-integrity and back-end billing capabilities. He works closely with teams across coding, billing, and collections, using performance analytics, including Sage's Validity platform, to monitor daily operations, identify workflow and productivity trends, and support timely, data-informed decisions.

Mr. Kiger also supports the rollout of technology-enabled coding workflows within Sage's managed service engagements. His work focuses on helping healthcare organizations transition key revenue cycle functions into stable, efficient outsourced operations, including workforce-transition models when appropriate. Through this work, he helps strengthen operational performance, reduce administrative burden, and identify practical cost-saving opportunities for hospital partners.

Prior to joining Sage Clinical RCM, Mr. Kiger worked as an independent financial transformation adviser from 2025 to 2026. During this period, he provided expert guidance to healthcare organizations seeking to optimize their revenue cycle operations and improve financial performance.

From 2016 to 2025, Mr. Kiger held the role of Associate Director at Guidehouse Consulting in St. Petersburg. There, he contributed to large-scale financial turnarounds for major healthcare systems, leading comprehensive reorganizations of hospital operations that typically spanned 18 months to two and a half years.

Among Mr. Kiger's most notable achievements was his involvement in a project with a healthcare network generating $4 billion in annual revenue. His team delivered recurring year-over-year margin improvements of $43 million over two years, increased cash acceleration by $15 million annually, reduced payer and provider denials by 5% and managed vendor selections. The overall engagement resulted in $250 million in net revenue improvement for the hospital system over two and a half years.

Between 2015 and 2016, Mr. Kiger served as an independent hospital and home healthcare advisor in St. Petersburg, lending his expertise to organizations navigating complex revenue cycle challenges. His earlier experience includes serving as Revenue Cycle Manager at Deloitte Consulting in the Greater Tampa Bay Area from 2014 to 2015.

Prior to his time at Deloitte Consulting, Mr. Kiger was a Vice President and Administrator at Angels Care Home Health in the Greater Tampa Bay Area from 2009 to 2014. During this period away from consulting, he helped build home health care agencies across Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. He joined when there was only one agency and played a key role in expanding it into three home care agencies serving the greater Tampa / St. Petersburg market. This work remains among his proudest accomplishments due to its direct impact on patients and families within his community.

Throughout nearly 25 years in the field of healthcare revenue cycle management, Mr. Kiger has demonstrated exceptional proficiency across hospitals, health systems, assisted living facilities and home care operations spanning acute and post-acute care providers. He is recognized for his deep knowledge of patient access functions, mid-revenue-cycle processes and patient financial services, all critical components of successful healthcare administration. His commitment to excellence is further reflected by his former membership with the Healthcare Financial Management Association.

Mr. Kiger's educational background includes earning a Bachelor of Science in marketing from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The skills acquired during his academic training have supported his ability to analyze markets, develop effective strategies for organizational growth and communicate complex concepts clearly within multidisciplinary teams.

A central influence on Mr. Kiger's career choice was his mother's work in hospital administration during the 1980s — an era when few women held such positions — which inspired him to pursue a path where he could make a meaningful difference within communities through healthcare leadership.

Mr. Kiger attributes much of his success to being relationship-driven and prioritizing people above all else. He believes that fostering growth among junior staff is essential for organizational advancement and places equal importance on building trust with clients by understanding their unique challenges. He strives to be regarded not just as a consultant but as a trusted strategic adviser who becomes part of each client's fabric.

Beyond his professional commitments, Mr. Kiger is dedicated to civic engagement through financial contributions to Hope Health and Sunshine Foundation in St. Petersburg, a nonprofit that assists individuals battling cancer by helping cover bills, rent and hospital expenses while coordinating transportation for medical appointments.

In his personal life, Mr. Kiger values spending time with family above all else and is passionate about boating on the waters around Tampa Bay — often accompanied by his wife, children and grandchildren — as well as playing golf at a local country club in St. Petersburg. Collecting bourbon is another hobby he enjoys, including experimenting with making his own spirits.

Looking ahead at Sage Clinical RCM, Mr. Kiger aims to help expand the company's outsourcing capabilities and contribute to its artificial intelligence initiatives while keeping patient satisfaction and hospital operational and financial sustainability at the forefront. Achieving these goals will help ensure every system or technology implemented under Sage delivers clear benefits to patients.
