Carr Allison Scores Major Victories for Clients
With the football season upon us, we’re all rooting for our favorite team to win. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, determination and skill to win football games. Those things are also required to score victories when it comes to handling Medicare Compliance issues. Our team of attorneys, nurses and paralegals puts in the time and effort to “win” for our clients in every case. Like many underdog football teams, when others say something cannot be done, we say it can and we work our hardest to exceed all expectations. Below are a few of the victories we have scored for our clients within the past couple of months alone.
