Employee Spotlight- Rich McMullen, Corporate Controller
Q: Where are you originally from/where do you live now?
A: Born and raised in West Babylon, NY on Long Island. I moved to Pennsylvania, back to New York City, out to San Francisco, back to New York City, only to end up living in Babylon, NY…5 miles from my childhood home. It’s been a long, strange trip.
Q: What did you do prior to Integra?
A: I was the VP of Finance at a publicly traded modeling agency.
Q: What is your role at Integra?
A: My role is all things financial. My official title is Corporate Controller. I also oversee our Claims team.
Q: What attracted you to Integra?
A: What initially attracted me was the idea of working in healthcare, which I had not done before. After meeting with Andrew and the rest of the management team, however, the culture is what sealed the deal for me. As a team, we have a shared vision of what we are working towards and we help each other in any way we can. Egos get checked at the door.
Q: What is your favorite part about your job?
A: SPREADSHEETS! Ok, I’m only half-kidding. I’ve actually enjoyed getting to know and help some of our providers.
Q: What do you enjoy outside of the workplace?
A: I’m a voracious reader. I have about 4 full bookcases at home and much more on my kindle. I’m currently reading “The Art of Explanation” by Lee Lefever (http://tinyurl.com/art-of-explanation).
Q: What’s your favorite food?
A: I’m not even sure where to start with this. It is probably easier to just tell you the foods I don’t like: capers, olives and Brussels sprouts…that’s about it!
Q: Do you have kids?
A: I have a 15 month old daughter named Sophia (see attached family photo).
Q: Jets or Giants?
A: I’ve been a Giants fan since before I can remember.
Q: What advice do you have to providers to help them with their day to day activities?
A: Sign up for ACH (direct deposit) payments and stop wondering when the check will arrive in the mail.
Direct Deposit – Speeding Up the Flow of Your Money
Are you tired of waiting for your check to come in the mail each week, walking down to your local bank, and then waiting for the funds to clear? Do you wish you could speed up the turnaround time and have your funds deposited electronically?
Now you can by enrolling in our Direct Deposit feature! With ACH deposit, the money from your weekly reimbursement checks will be automatically deposited directly into your bank account… that’s up to 4 days faster than by check!
Fast Facts for Existing ACH Enrollees
- We generally schedule ACH payments Sunday, from the week before
- Since Monday is the first business day of the week, the payment should reach your account on Tuesday
- Some receiving banks will post to your account the same day, other banks do over-night posting
- If your bank does overnight posting, you may not see the deposit in your account until Wednesday
- You will continue to receive a hard copy of your EOB
