"Our 100 plus physicians have been treating emergency room patients for 30 years. Twelve years ago, Gail Burke completely overhauled our billing process, renegotiated our managed care contracts, implemented a compliance plan, and is still our primary consultant. Gail has always been able to predict the collectibility of our accounts receivable to within 1% of our eventual revenues, making our budgeting and financial forecasting a snap. Anybody who's in the medical business and isn't using Gail's expertise in the areas of patient billing and compliance design is making a costly mistake!"
-- Paul Davidson; Administrator, Emergency Resources Group, Jacksonville, Florida
