Our team is comprised of attorneys and support staff with multi-disciplinary qualifications from clinical credentials, health information management degrees and certifications, master’s level education in health services administration, and certified coders with multiple specialty designations, to in-house revenue cycle management , privacy officer, managed care contracting, and compliance. These varying backgrounds and in-house experiences with healthcare organizations allows us to approach issues with a unique, practical perspective focused on solutions that can be operationalized. We keep our client list small so we can get to know you and your business well. This allows us to do the best possible job to work with your teams collaboratively for effective solutions.
Our company
One of the features that sets us apart from most firms is our fee structure. We don’t like surprise bills, and we know our clients don’t, either. We strive to offer flat fees when possible, so that clients can make informed choices about their services and avoid surprise bills at the end of the month that can be the result of hourly billing. We believe flat fees allow us to serve clients better, so we can mutually focus on fulfilling your needs rather than tracking time. Clients have raved about this structure and their ability to better budget for the work we accomplish together.
