Angela spent 12 years in corporate compliance with a durable medical equipment (DME) supplier.  She rose from billing to compliance and for the final five years, served as the Compliance Officer for a large US DME company. Angela, with support of the executive team, improved cash flow by working closely with staff; provided specifically tailored training which ensured faster cash turnaround; and reduced audits and overpayments. 

In January 2005, she started the company to work with healthcare providers in the same areas with about 80% of clients being defense cases, meaning a payer or government post payment audit/investigation.  It is important to her to see providers be successful and this industry is difficult to really have successful and timely billing and collections.

Her practice covers acute care, physicians, pharmacies, labs, dentists, DME, home health, and some payer work.  Over 90% of the business is defense, on a rare occasion they will assist in calculating medical expenses on established medical bills in plaintiff suits.
