“Sharon is an awesome person to work with! She placed students at their extern site for Medical Billing and Coding, Medical Assistance and Dental Assisting Programs. She was great in building relationship with new clinical sites. She held an 80% placement rate for MBC; 20 out of 25, 2 students relocated, and 3 students returned to school to further their education.”

“Her knowledge of coding and the revenue cycle has been invaluable for myself and my clients. We were able to resubmit 150 denied claims due to incorrect fee schedule. Claims were paid within 30 days after resubmission date.”

“Sharon was successful in negotiating an extern contract that allowed medical billing and coding students to gain real life experience. Ten students were allowed to complete 180 hours per semester to complete their program completion requirements within six weeks. The outcome was amazing, all ten students were offered a job but eight accepted, one relocated, and one returned to school.”
