TESTIMONIALS "Our group of 10 anesthesiologists retained the services of Paige Covell in renegotiating our hospital contract in 2006. We found him to be ethical, practical, and extremely well versed in practice management issues as they relate to anesthesiologists. Having him interface with Administration allowed us to mitigate any rancorous feelings that might have developed during negotiations and we were very satisfied with the outcome, as I believe Administration was. We would not hesitate to use him again in any of our contracting needs." "There is nobody with more experience in anesthesia than you. There is a lot of help available to anesthesia groups, but most of it is generic and has nothing to do with the particular problems an anesthesia group faces. Billing, contracting and hospital negotiations for anesthesia are specific, but the usual help from lawyers, CPA's and billing agents can miss the important details. Your [firm] was contracting with hospitals long before anybody knew what this was!" "Paige has provided sound advice to me since I was a resident in 1987. Over the years he has told me what to expect and I have often thought, 'There is no way this is going to happen.' Sure enough, when I've done my part, things have panned out as he predicted. Paige's contributions have been essential in helping me create the best anesthesia practice for which I could ask." "Our group used the professional consulting services of Mr. Covell in 2004. He was extremely useful in the formation of our group, now numbering 15 physicians. We responded to an RFP for exclusive contracting of anesthesia services and his help was invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend his services." "Reflecting back to 2004 when our group was formed, it was thought by many to be an impossible task and doomed to fail (as it had in previous attempts). In the midst of departmental strife and political warfare, we were referred by a previous colleague to Mr. Covell. Originally just asked to lead the way toward successful group formation, he played the role of peacemaker, then later acted as liaison in negotiating a contract between the new group and hospital administration. With principled integrity he obtained for us everything on our 'wish list' and more. We simply cannot forget Paige's commitment and untiring efforts in helping us attain the degree of success we enjoy to this day." "I have known Paige since I entered private practice in 1986. He is the 'go-to guy' when it comes to dealing with Administrators, payors and contract issues. Always well prepared and extremely knowledgeable when it comes time for negotiations, Paige is a true advocate for physicians in difficult times." "Having historical and practical perspectives, Paige was always the essential consultant for our anesthesia group."
