Davia Ward, CMRS, CBCO, CMCS
Founder & CEO, Healthcare Partners Consulting & Billing, LLC
Davia Ward is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Healthcare Partners Consulting & Billing, LLC (HPC), a revenue cycle management and consulting firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. With 39 years of experience in healthcare operations, medical billing, compliance, and revenue cycle management, she brings a depth of expertise that is both rare and operationally grounded.
Davia began her career as a nurse, a foundation that continues to shape the way she approaches provider relationships, patient financial experience, and practice-level decision-making. That clinical background, combined with decades of operational leadership, gives her a perspective that most billing and consulting professionals cannot offer. She understands healthcare from both sides of the encounter, and that distinction matters.
Over the course of her career, Davia has worked across a wide range of practice environments, including mental and behavioral health, OB/GYN, and group practices at various stages of growth. Her expertise spans the full revenue cycle, from credentialing and payer contracting through AR management, denial resolution, and compliance oversight. She has built a reputation for identifying the upstream issues that most billing vendors overlook until they become measurable revenue loss.
In 2025, Davia was named a Health IT and Revenue Cycle Up-and-Comer by Becker's Hospital Review, one of the most respected publications in the healthcare industry. The recognition reflects her continued investment in advancing revenue cycle operations and bringing forward-thinking solutions to the providers and practices she serves.
Healthcare Partners Consulting & Billing, LLC is a proud veteran-owned business. The same values that define military service — discipline, accountability, integrity, and mission-driven execution — are embedded in how HPC operates and how it serves its clients.
Davia holds three professional designations: Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist (CMRS), Certified Billing and Coding Official (CBCO), and Certified Medical Coding Specialist (CMCS). She is a member of the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA) and remains actively engaged in the revenue cycle and health IT community.
Her philosophy is direct: claim submission is the lowest level of value in the revenue cycle. The real work is in prevention, oversight, compliance, and protection. That conviction is the foundation of everything HPC does.
