Through the operation of Kepple Healthcare Consulting Mike has developed a unsurpassed understanding of the Managed Care arena. In 2001, Mike was approached by a group of physicians who asked him to put his expertise to work in the area of Medical Billing. They needed the insight and advice of someone with an in depth knowledge of the health insurance industry. They understood that Mike’s experience as a payor would help them understand how to get bills submitted correctly, and that he could help get them paid for the services they had provided. Since then, Kepple & Company Inc. has grown into a full service medical billing company and has experience in billing for many different medical specialties including General Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, ENT, Pain Management, OBGYN and Podiatry.
