As a small business owner and one of the doctors in our chiropractic office, it is essential that we have qualified and trained personnel working for our growing and busy office.  We work very hard to deliver quality health care and efficient procedures so our patients can focus on their health versus their EOB's or denial letters.  Over the past seven years of running our office we have struggled with finding qualified insurance people who were willing to work for a small practice and know what they were doing.

We were curious about your billing and coding school when we noticed your ads in the local newspaper, and we were in the process of filling a position and I called you office.  Little did I know that your school would be a saving grace to our practice.  It was wonderful that you personally recommended several people of which we could interview and have confidence that they could step into our office and learn our basic procedures.  Once we hired our staff they were able to get started right away processing claims, getting correct information and entering them properly so a clean claim could be submitted.

My husband and I are grateful for your years of experience and your willingness to teach your knowledge so offices like us can compete with those all knowing insurance companies.  Thank you for providing outstanding training in the insurance arena.  With your help we are able to help more people have access to quality healthcare, because without an educated insurance person working for us, our patients wouldn't have access to their health plans.  Our office and patients thank you.

Melody Irvine was a valued employee of Big Thompson Medical Group for many years.  She essentially developed, from scratch, our coding assurance program and instituted coding seminars and physician audits for our providers.  These programs were an excellent source of accurate information for providers.  Mel always was able to help providers to better understand the confusing areas of coding.  This lead to more accurate billing and better reimbursement.
