Team
The people behind Quilven.
Quilven is run by people you can name and reach, not an anonymous queue. Here is who leads the company, and the roles that work every account.
Who runs Quilven
Raief Shick
Owner
Raief is a long-time business owner. He has built and run companies in recruitment and e-commerce, and Quilven is the business he runs today.
Haris Khan
Client Partnerships Lead
Haris leads Quilven's business development team, which works with U.S. healthcare providers and medical practices. He oversees the full sales cycle, from first outreach to signed agreement, and coaches the team on prospecting, handling objections and closing. He also keeps the pipeline and CRM accurate and tracks the team against its targets.
Before Quilven, he was a Senior Business Development Executive at MedCare MSO. He studied at Bahauddin Zakariya University.
Essa Khan
Head of Growth
Essa runs Quilven's marketing, SEO and Google Ads. He has worked full-time in SEO since 2022 and has run Google Ads since 2024, on around 30 websites and ad accounts, including private clinics and healthcare practices. Before SEO, he worked in sales, making 40 to 50 cold calls a day.
He also founded Leads Ireland, an SEO and Google Ads agency for Irish businesses, and has worked with Raief on SEO and ads for about two and a half years.
Steven Tyler
Client Solutions Director
Steven works directly with medical practices to find where revenue is slipping and fix the processes behind it. He partners with practices of 10 to 50 providers on denial management, credentialing and full-cycle revenue cycle work, and runs revenue cycle assessments that find leakage before it reaches the bottom line.
He started as a registered nurse in med/surg and pediatric care, so he knows how documentation and workflow decisions made in the exam room carry through to coding and payment. Before Quilven, he consulted with small and mid-size practices on denials, credentialing and clean claim rates.
Behind every account
Every practice gets a team rather than a single biller, so there is no single point of failure. Your named leads and their certifications are introduced during onboarding, with direct contacts.
Dedicated account manager
One person owns your account, knows your practice and is your single point of contact.
AAPC-certified coders
Coders holding CPC and COC credentials, with coding experience across the specialties we serve.
Credentialing specialists
Provider enrollment and recredentialing, handled by people who work payers and panels every day.
AR and denial analysts
Analysts who work aged AR and appeals on a set cadence, by code, until each claim resolves.
Talk to the team
Start with a free 48-hour AR audit: a written report on where revenue is leaking, what we would recover and what the work would cost.
