"Our group of 10 anesthesiologists retained the services of Paige Covell in renegotiating our hospital contract in 2006 and again in 2009. 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."

"We really do value your committed services and our group acknowledges that your negotiations have resulted in a net gain for us a second consecutive time. We deeply thank you for your services and commitment to helping us through difficult negotiations. We hope that if this [new IPA project] does progress, we may utilize your services that will be applicable."

"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."

"A million thanks for all the work you did to expose the impropriety between what [our hospital] is receiving in anesthesia care compared to what [our remuneration is] for those services. Your words did not fall on deaf ears nor were your emails and reports seen by blind eyes!"

"I have known Paige since the mid-90's, both socially and professionally. Because of his great knowledge and expertise, I asked him assist me by mediating between myself and the buyer of my dermatology practice. It was extremely complicated by some difficult and sensitive issues, through which he guided us with amazing skill and professionalism. I highly recommend him for your practice needs."

"We are in the enviable position of being able to operate privately in what is otherwise a socialised medical system. Over the years Mr. Covell's counsel has assisting me in guiding my group's activities to capitalize on our situation whilst retaining political stability with the hospital where we practise. I firmly believe that other hospital administrations, even under a socialised system, would benefit from his experience."

"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."

"The court has carefully reviewed the exhibits and, with particular regard to the work [Mr. Covell] performed relating to the 'compensation' provisions of the proposed contracts, finds the efforts he expended and the recommendations he made to defendant to be quite sound and of significant value." From transcript of a court case in which expert testimony was provided.
