LISLE, Illinois, August 7, 2025 - Provana, a leader in tech-enabled, human-powered managed services, today announced the appointment of Neville Zar as its new Executive Vice President, Healthcare, marking a significant step in Provana’s strategic expansion of its revenue cycle management (RCM) services.

According to a Business Wire press release, Zar brings over two decades of revenue cycle and healthcare leadership experience to the role. Notably, he previously led RCM operations at Athenahealth, overseeing services that processed more than 300 million claims annually for over 10,000 providers. Zar also held leadership positions in Deloitte’s national revenue cycle practice and served as Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Steward Health Care.

Provana’s Chief Operating Officer, Karen Powell, commented on the significance of the appointment, stating: “Neville’s leadership, technological acumen, and unmatched track record in delivering RCM outcomes at scale will be instrumental as we expand our solutions to meet the evolving needs of independent practices.” Zar’s responsibilities will span operations, innovation, client success, and partnerships across Provana’s healthcare vertical.

Zar added, “Independent medical practices deserve the same level of sophistication and support as large systems when it comes to revenue operations. Provana’s unique blend of advanced technology and human expertise is exactly what the market needs. I look forward to building on this strong foundation to deliver extraordinary value to our clients.”
This leadership addition reinforces Provana’s focus on delivering enterprise-grade, AI-driven and automation-enhanced RCM services to independent healthcare providers—a segment historically underserved by large, enterprise solution vendors.
