ABOUT US
We are passionate about empowering organizations to raise their financial health.
It started with an idea...
raise the standard of reimbursement in healthcare organizations.
We were aware of significant reimbursement challenges facing many healthcare organizations and we wanted to be part of the solution. We believed we could do this through technical innovation and dynamic collaboration.
What if we created client relationships on a foundation of trust that came from putting their needs first?
It became a reality.
Using a powerful combination of experience and expertise, we help organizations work through significant reimbursement challenges.
We pioneered a better way for providers to collect their charges from payers – not the patient. We do this through our technology and consulting solutions. Everyday our growing team advances this reality through innovative solutions as well as offering a continuously growing library of informational resources.
We are more than just a company, we are solutions.
“See things as what they can be and not what they are, and you will change your organization.”
