What California Orthopedics & Spine Says about Healthcents
We are the largest orthopedic practice in Marin County, CA, and Healthcents has been a key partner in helping us renegotiate contracts. We have engaged Healthcents’ services three times over the last 10 years, and each time they obtained above-market rates with major payers which increased our annual revenue significantly.
