Executive Change: CSI Financial Services Names Mark Swirsky VP, Regional Sales Manager

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – CSI Financial Services (CSI) has appointed Mark J. Swirsky as vice president, regional sales manager.  Swirsky will be responsible for cultivating and closing new client opportunities and for managing existing client activities within a territory of 12 states, including California, Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Missouri, New Mexico, Kansas, Hawaii, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma. 

Swirsky will be based in Irvine, Calif.

Established in 1992, CSI Financial Services has been providing “peace of mind” to healthcare providers and patients by funding almost a half billion dollars in no- and low-interest patient loan programs to hospitals nationwide, thereby allowing patients to meet their self-pay obligations.

“Mark’s extensive background in the consumer and healthcare finance markets provides our clients with a unique resource for helping understand and address their challenges of dealing with self-pay patients,” Mitch Patridge, CSI’s chief executive officer said.  “We know that economic factors such as higher unemployment and a tight credit market are contributing to a significant increase in A/R days and forcing more patients into bad debt collections.  Mark’s more than 30 years of experience in working with healthcare providers will play a role in hospital’s implementing programs that help patients meet their financial obligation and, ultimately, improve the financial performance of our clients.”

Prior to joining CSI Financial Services, Swirsky served as a business development manager of General Electric’s CareCredit Patient Payment Plans, where he focused on developing emerging target markets including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and other specialty markets.  Swirsky also held senior sales positions with Quadramed Corporation, a leading provider of patient acuity, productivity and benchmarking software systems and at Artemis Management Systems.
