“Proactive Medical Review and Consulting has been a great resource to our team. Their passion and professionalism show in everything they do. From reimbursement processes to regulatory compliance, PMR keeps us on the leading edge of our industry. We are happy to have them in our corner.”
“We operate a large CCRC campus with a 170 bed SNF facility. On a couple of occasion we turned to Proactive to assist us remotely with MDS support and completion. They communicated well with my nursing department in coordinating MDS schedules and assessment needs. The nicest aspect overall was the level of competency they brought to temporarily fulfilling our MDS Coordinator needs. I would not hesitate to turn to them again should a short term or longer MDS Coordination need occur.”
