In addition, he is a former chairman of the ACA Coding and Reimbursement Committee, currently serves as a consultant to several state and national organizations, and is regularly sought as an expert legal witness in cases of alleged malpractice, billing/payment inconsistency, fraud, and standard of care violations.
