HEALTH
CARE
Our expertise in the health care field lies in the servicing of various
health facilities.
Since 1960 we have functioned as consultants and auditors to clients
in California, Arizona and Florida as well as New York. Our clientele
has included nursing homes, hospitals, union sponsored health and
welfare programs, and health maintenance organizations, just to name
a few.
We consider the review of reimbursement rates and appeals to be of
vital importance
requiring a great degree of expertise and specialization. Accordingly,
we have a
department whose responsibility is to review all rates, appeals and
cost reports for the
purpose of determining the maximization of potential reimbursement,
and the accuracy
of the rate computation.
