Angie Brown, CMC, CMIS, CMOM, CMA
Greenville, SC

Greenville Technical College
Department Head, Associate Professor

“My affiliation with PMI has been one that I have been most proud of. PMI programming has been invaluable to the professional success and placement of our students. In my eyes, PMI is the most relevant and well-rounded, full service, credentialing and educational organization in existence today.”


Patti Demirjian, CMM, CMOM, CPC, CMC, CMIS
Dayton, OH

Demirjian Neurology & Pain Management, Inc.
Practice Administrator

 “I have said many times that I hold PMI fully responsible for what I know- and I think that's a lot. You have given me the tools with which to run a highly successful practice. My staff is all cross trained and well trained. We are fully compliant. We are extremely efficient. We do all that is possible to do and do it correctly. Why? Because PMI taught me how.”


Toni Emmons, CMC, CPC
Amarillo, TX

Texas Tech University Health Science Center
Director, Billing Compliance

“Showing up for a job is not what it’s about. Showing up for a job and being prepared to do the job successfully is! PMI is about the preparation….education for medical professionals who are making a difference in their communities today.”


Debbie Fehr, CMC
Glendale, AZ

Associate Physician Practice Services, LLC
President, CEO

 “I appreciate the fact that PMI has created a medical office support service company that offers everyone an opportunity to interact in multiple educational events. Through this focus and determination PMI has been recognized as SUPERIOR in the national market place. I do not have to worry about wasted staff time, energy or corporate funds when interacting or attending a PMI seminar, conference, or web-cast. The quality of speakers is notable among their peers, wherein lies the true test of the PMI continued corporate success.”


Marti Geron, CMC, CPC, CMIS, CMOM, CMA, PCS
Arlington, TX

UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
Reimbursement Manager, Department of Pediatrics

 “I have attended PMI programs since the early 80’s and continue to attend as many as possible because I always come away with important, helpful information that I can use on a daily basis. Another reason that I have remained a part of PMI is simply because I have always been impressed with the professionalism of PMI. That is just a couple of reasons that I chose to earn all three of the certifications they offer and promote the company as an upstanding organization.”


Nancy McKinney, CMC, CMIS, CMOM
Dallas, TX

Pediatric Acute Care Associates of North Texas, PC
Office Administrator

 “I owe PMI so much for the knowledge they have given to me over the past 24 years, I have been attending their programs and certification courses since I began working in the medical field. I have found very few organizations that provide the level of education as well as individual assistance that PMI and it instructors offer. In my opinion you can’t find any better than PMI”


Heather Post, CMC, CMOM
Texarkana, TX

Ark-La-Tex Health Network
PHO Operations Coordinator, Physician and Provider Relations

 “PMI understands today’s medical practice and remains dedicated to ensuring all associates supporting our medical providers have the opportunity for continued education. This is evident by the number of smaller markets they bring their courses to, because PMI understands in this day and age our practices have to cover the office. The local classes make it much more realistic in regard to travel time, expense and time out of the office. I support PMI because they support our offices… education is the key to running a practice effectively and PMI provides that.”


Karen Preston, CMC, CMOM
McKinney, TX

Dr. John Prudich
Adminstrator

PMI has turned out to be my "knight in shining armor" in the crazy world of practice management. Whether it is a publication or an educational meeting, the people at PMI always have exactly what I need. The instructors are always current on the ever changing rules and regulations. The people (teachers and classmates) that I have met while keeping my credentials up to date are a huge reason I keep going back to PMI. Thank you PMI for helping create a little calm in my chaotic world.


Marshara Rowan, CMOM
Cleveland, OH

Associates in Cardiology, Inc.
Practice Manager

"I highly recommend PMI's curriculum and credentials to anyone who is just starting out in the medical profession as well as to those who have many years of experience in this field. I found PMI after working as a medical professional for over 20 years. Because of PMI and the curriculum it offers, after 20 years I am able to manage more effectively and my employees have a better understanding of their job and their job duties. I credit PMI for my great management skills, which has enabled our practice to increase our revenue from five figures per month to six figures (plus) every month." Thank you PMI!

Pacific Family Medical Center, LLC
Business Manager

"I have been certified through Practice Management Institute since 2000. I attend their classes and annual conferences for their national perspective on what is happening in the healthcare industry. I always walk away from their seminars with up-to-date information and helpful advice on resolving the medical practice issues I may be having at the time."


Cyndi Delappe, CMC, CMOM, CMIS, MCS-P
Helena, MT

St. Peter's Hospital
Clinic Coder  
  
 “I feel that PMI has provided me with much more information than any other organization when it comes to coding expertise. I have found that the instructors are much more knowledgeable. PMI is also much more willing and able to provide support to its members by providing a website with a "forum" capability as well as allowing members to email specific instructors with questions -- this is not an option with any other coding/credentialing organization. Additionally, PMI is always willing to listen to its members regarding areas of training that need to be addressed, both currently and in the future!”


Deb Rozanski, CMC
Rochester, MI

Business Manager
Medical Network I, P.C.

 “In partnership with PMI I hope to raise the standards in our physician organization by promoting ongoing training and education. I find the certifications through PMI to be at the highest standards and encourage all medical office professionals to meet this challenge.”
