With more than four decades of experience, Sue works closely with in‑house legal and reimbursement teams to navigate cost reporting issues, audits and reimbursement disputes.

  • Representing providers before the Provider Reimbursement Review Board;
  • Assisting with preparation of documentation for cost reimbursement issues; and
  • Guiding clients through complex Medicare appeals and payment matters.
