    Every time a doctor sends a medical claim to a medical insurance company or care management organization, the patient will receive an Explanation of Benefits – usually referred to as an EOB form.

  • A small-business owner with the mindset of a chief financial officer can succeed

    Updated Feb 16, 2018

    FALLBROOK – Some businesses stay on track while others run off the rails. Often the fate of the business hinges on the main person running it – the owner – especially in the small business arena. A small business typically has a slimmer margin for error, giving the owner a wide area of responsibilities.
