The Founder
Experience, Education, and a Focus on Governmental Healthcare
Dr. Brian Ruiz, DBA is the founder and CEO of Strategic Billing Enterprise, LLC. He launched the company while he was an undergraduate student participating in Rowan University's New Venture Competition and has grown it into a specialized medical billing, revenue cycle management, and business consulting organization for healthcare providers.
Dr. Ruiz holds a D.B.A. from Drexel University, an M.S. in Administrative Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and a B.A. in Economics from Rowan University.
As an Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Rowan University, Dr. Ruiz applies the same structured, problem-solving approach to billing that he teaches in the classroom. He has also presented EMS-related education at national conferences, with continuing education credits approved through multiple agencies.
Strategic Billing was founded on a core premise: that EMS agencies and governmental healthcare providers deserve billing support that understands their operational environment, not a one-size-fits-all vendor relationship.

Our Focus
Built for Agencies That Serve the Public
Strategic Billing understands that EMS agencies and governmental healthcare organizations operate under unique pressures: public accountability, compliance requirements, operational complexity, and the need for reliable revenue recovery.
The billing support these agencies need is different from what a commercial provider requires. It needs to account for governmental structures, community obligations, and the reality that revenue recovery directly funds public safety operations.
From Classroom Idea to Specialized Partner
Dr. Brian Ruiz launched Strategic Billing Enterprise, LLC while he was an undergraduate student participating in Rowan University's New Venture Competition.
The problem was clear: EMS agencies and governmental healthcare organizations were being underserved by billing vendors who did not understand their operational environment. The solution was equally clear: a specialized partner who did.
