Monique Brisbane is the African-American Latina owner of Brisbane Billing & Consulting, LLC, a consulting company specializing in psychiatric billing and establishing private behavioral health practices for doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, and other licensed behavioral health specialists in Connecticut. Monique is also employed by Yale New Haven Health Systems as a payer enrollment specialist for Northeast Medical Group’s behavioral health providers in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Monique is a member of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) and the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA). She will complete her Masters in Public Administration with concentrations in both Finance and Accounting in December 2020. She received her Bachelor’s degree at Albertus Magnus College, majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Management in 2016.
During Monique’s 20 years of service in healthcare administration, her passion in the behavioral health field intensified while employed at a non-profit organization that served underprivileged individuals and families in Waterbury, Connecticut. Working side-by-side with both behavioral health professionals and families, she regularly encountered complaints from both sides who felt helpless working within the rules and regulations of large healthcare systems. At that point, Monique recognized the need for smaller intimate practices and decided to take her skills and expertise to the next level. In 2018, Monique established Brisbane Billing & Consulting and has established practices in cities such as East Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, and Thomaston.
Enjoying the satisfaction of helping those in need, Monique decided to earn her master’s degree to learn more about public administration policies and regulations. Upon completion of her Master’s degree, Monique will continue her employment with Yale New Haven Health Systems. Monique will take the knowledge she acquired to continue advocating for mental health services expansion and access for low-income families in Connecticut. In the future, Monique plans on pursuing her education in the field of Theology, in hopes of becoming an advocate and motivational pastor.
“Albertus’ tradition of seeking truth has inspired me to follow the truth of my heart, which is to serve God and the community like our fellow Dominican Sisters have done for us to be here today.”
