Having called Mr. Robert Liles he was unbelievably courteous and extremely helpful in the questions I was asking him. He did all of this in over 30 minutes of his time without even being retained by me. It was truly a breath of fresh air to meet someone in these troubling times who actually cared about the person on the other end of the phone without ever speaking to him before and without any monetary contract. I wish there were more people in this world like him and feel truly blessed to have met him. Truly God sent!!

I have been practicing medicine over 20 years. Thankfully, today I have a busy and successful private practice in surgery, with sub-specialty in wound care, which means I deal mostly with Medicare patients. In the Summer of 2019, I was a subject of a large scale CMS audit, with over 40 patient charts involved, with the CMS refusing to pay out those claims at the same time. It was very upsetting and disheartening to experience this kind of treatment from the payors, when I work hard daily and diligently for the oldest, sickest and most vulnerable of our community patients.

I was introduced to Ms. Lorraine Rosado esq, who calmly explained the situation involved and how to respond to this Medicare audit. Because of her expertise, we won our case in the first level of the Medicare appeals process. All of the claims were paid out eventually, which I confirmed with our biller.
