Brenda Pascarella, lead revenue cycle coordinator, was recognized as the October 2024 BRMC Star Award winner. She has been with the organization since 2002.

“Brenda is an unsung hero of our organization by ensuring that we’re paid by submitting claims to our payers. She is responsible to monitor daily revenue cycle processes and often has to intervene to ensure that our claims are submitted in a timely manner. This helps our organization to have a guaranteed inflow of money to our organization to meet our financial responsibilities,” said her nomination. “Brenda’s work, though not typically seen by patients and staff, is crucial to provide great patient care. She is efficient, always has a smile on her face, and is always willing to go the extra mile without being asked. We’re lucky to have Brenda.”
