It was fantastic to work together with Mr. Palani, who has exceptional expertise in leadership, medical knowledge, training, coaching and motivating team. I highly recommend Mr. Palani as a medical coding expert and would love to work together again. Mr. Palani is amazing at his job! He knows his way around people; he is good with the clients, does whatever it takes to help colleagues and gets things done. He makes sure that everyone is on the same page and focused on the main goal. He is expert in end-to-end RCM process, expertized auditor, and very good in communicating and collaboratively working with other teams to succeed the projects. I strongly recommend him to any organization and I wish him all the success in his career endeavors!
