Due to reduced reimbursement from the insurance companies, this small privately owned business was not able to survive.

I began working for Michael Brown as his personal assistant in 1999 for his company Health Care Economics. He later sold his business to Blue and Company and we worked under their umbrella.

My duties included answering the telephones, scheduling appointments, dictation, managed his schedule, prepared proposals for clients, word processing, PowerPoint presentations, marketing and advertising.

I prepared all reports for our clients and made sure they went out in a timely manner.

When we were still independent, I was in charge of all accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, payroll taxes, and preparing financial reports for the accountant.

We attended five to six conferences a year as Mr. Brown was a presenter at the conferences. I was in charge of all travel arrangements for the conferences and visits to client offices.

Our firm was a health care consulting firm. We provided practice management to physician offices all across the United States. Because of health reasons, Mr. Brown had to retire in 2015, and my position was no longer needed.

I was the office manager of our Noblesville location.

We had seven to ten psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and social workers seeing patients in our office.

My duties included receptionist, scheduling appointments, insurance verification, submission of insurance claim forms, following up on claims, accounts receivable, advertising, dictation, and telephone calls.
