To understand the value of our services, consider the outcome of some recent assignments:

		Helped a hospital capture "at risk" income of more than $5 million a year, by instructing staff in proper coding and coverage practices to ensure full payment.
		Increased patient access to new technologies by helping medical device companies reverse non-coverage decisions by local Medicare and third-party payers.
		Removed a barrier to market adoption for a new medical device by collaborating on a strategy to establish a new ICD-9-CM procedure code.
		Increased net payments at a large medical center by more than $1.5 million in the first year through improved cardiology department coding and billing procedures.
		As one of the few non-physician board members of a prestigious professional association, our president participated in a task force that avoided loss of reasonable payment for various cardiology procedures. Retained payments that could have been reduced an estimated 35%.
		Added value to multiple medical devices by creating product-specific reimbursement guides for distribution with newly installed equipment.

In addition, we continue to educate a rapidly growing proportion of the healthcare community about reimbursement best practices through coding publications whose readership is growing 10% a year.
