TBO adds managed care expert to team, expanding services for HME providers 

LAS VEGAS – Tactical Back Office (TBO) has added Lauren Barranti to its team, adding managed care and growth strategy expertise to its health care platform. With more than 20 years of health care experience, Barranti brings deep experience across home care, managed care and medical supply organizations, with a particular focus on the California at-risk medical group market. Her background includes serving as CEO of California Home Medical Equipment, vice president of managed care at Apria and business development director at Baxter. She is also principal at AllRevup Healthcare Solutions, where she has advised health care organizations on value-based contracting, payer strategy and sustainable revenue growth. “TBO clients are asking for more than staffing,” said Todd Usher, president and founder of TBO. “They need infrastructure that supports growth without breaking under reimbursement pressure. Lauren has operated on every side of the equation – provider, operator and executive. By integrating her expertise into TBO, we’re giving health care organizations access to managed care and growth strategy that actually gets implemented.” Barranti’s expertise will be delivered directly to clients as part of TBO’s health care operating model. Her work will intersect with TBO’s trained back-office teams to support value-based capitation agreements, payer strategy and competitive differentiation analysis, as well as go-to-market planning for durable medical equipment, diagnostic and medical supply organizations. Barranti’s focus will be on not only advisory recommendations but also execution that can be supported, monitored and sustained operationally, the company says. “I’ve spent my career helping health care organizations turn complexity into operational advantage,” she said. “What drew me to Tactical Back Office is the discipline behind their execution. This model connects strategy to real workflows, teams, and accountability — which is where growth either succeeds or fails.”
