Representative Client Concerns

"By the time your CEO got done with the managed care company's V.P., he was asking if he needed a lawyer."

"We saved a fortune moving to a self-funded healthcare plan. The healthcare vendors were taking commissions and rebates until HCI did an analytical study for us. We should have hired your firm years ago."

"We like the fact that your company doesn't sell and broker insurance or other benefits products.  It was the first time we had a completely objective assessment of our healthcare benefits plans."

"We had no idea that there were major differences in heart care ... HCI provided us with understandable information and the names of cardiologists who have more advanced experience in treating my wife's condition than those at our local hospital ... We are grateful that you were there for us and helped us to find a great doctor ... he has improved my wife's condition enormously."

I have been in remission ... Thank you for caring."
