CHIROFUSION TEAM

Sara is the Chief Operating Officer at Bushido Billing! Married to a chiropractor, she began her career managing a busy chiropractic office, where she learned the ins and outs of insurance billing and practice operations. After seeing firsthand the frustrations many clinics faced with traditional billing companies, Sara started her own small billing practice to better support providers.

In 2021, she discovered Bushido Billing and immediately connected with the company’s ethics, culture, and clinic-first approach. Today, she uses her deep industry experience to lead operations with integrity, innovation, and a commitment to helping both providers and patients thrive.

Outside of work, Sara enjoys spending time with her husband, two kids, and two dogs, as well as traveling, kayaking, trap shooting, and fishing. Known affectionately as “Unicorn,” she brings her curiosity and drive to every challenge—especially cleaning up complex accounts.
