Client Testimonials
“I have worked closely with Donna and her firm for over sixteen years, as CEO in three different facilities; I feel Donna has been a true partner in helping me to continue to grow in today’s small Critical Access Hospital Environment.”
“Each member of Financial Consultants of Alaska & Washington takes a genuine interest in our facility and takes pride in their work on our behalf. I can honestly say that FCAW has been an integral part of the financial success of our hospital.”
“In my capacity of Administrator of a long term care facility, I have worked with Financial Consultants of Alaska & Washington for the past 10 years. Donna’s strengths lie in her firm’s skill in adapting their services to suit the needs of each of their clients. FCAW’s strong points include an ability to take on multiple tasks simultaneously and produce high quality results despite deadline pressures.”
“I have employed Donna Herbert of Financial Consultants of Alaska & Washington for the past 18 years. Donna takes a real interest in our hospital and works as hard for us as if she owned the hospital and her total income came from this one facility. Donna has increased our reimbursement tenfold from what she has charged us in fees. I highly recommend her and her firm to any hospital or nursing home that needs reimbursement services.”
“Donna has increased our reimbursement in many ways thru cost reports, audits, and appeals, she always finds that extra. I am not sure our facility would have survived these many years without her and her firm.”
