" Healthcents has been able to get contracts in place and has done a great job of maintaining them and doing all of the necessary follow up. Maintaining the contracts is tough, given the complex environment between hospitals and HMOs.  Susan Charkin is also great at organizing all the information and securing our business relationships. She has really helped our business grow."

Mr. Bill Bockholt,

Co-Owner, Bayshore Ambulance

"Before we contracted with Healthcents, we had a 5% collection rate for our private pay clients. Since we contracted with Healthcents Inc., we have a 90% collection rate for these accounts. We couldn't be more pleased with their services."

Brian Greenberg, Ph.D., Walden House Inc. /Health Right 360.-

"It has been a pleasure working with Healthcents. Healthcents opened the door to an area of business that seemed closed to us and of which we had little knowledge. Within one year we contracted with most of the major insurance companies.  We've reached even further into these arenas on our own now and understand the makings of this marketplace, thanks to Healthcents. Healthcents shared information with us, providing very prompt service, and we will continue to use them in the future."

Ms. Debbie Norton

Manager, Support Systems Homes

San Jose, CA

 

"Healthcents assisted us in redeveloping our market strategy by redesigning our contracts and negotiating new and existing HMO, hospital and skilled nursing facility agreements with substantially better rates. They allowed us to catapult our business into the largest hospitals in Houston. I would rate the quality and satisfaction of our relationship with Healthcents an 11 out of 10!"

Testimonials for Education and Course Delivery:

“Contract negotiation is a very timely issue. Rather than assume that nothing can be done with insurance contracts, all managers will benefit from this course and the tools that they give you to help in the process of contract negotiation.  The worksheets and software were great; I have done a couple of contract negotiations before but this course gave me a chance to understand it better.”

 

 Regina Bash, RN

Practice Manager with Suburban Urologic Associates

“This course provided the tools that are essential to keeping your contracts in market range and assist us in our efforts to renegotiate existing contracts” The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful, even after the course was completed.”

 

Teresa Branson, President

 “I do think it is something that is a worthwhile (the course) undertaking for practices to evaluate their fee schedules across the board with each private payer with whom they are contracted and determine if there are areas where they can improve their payment.   The course schedule allowed for enough time to work on assigned homework and balance my work schedule.”
