Mission Statement:

"To assist physicians in establishing and maintaining financial and operational control of their practices."

PAUL ANGOTTI Paul Angotti consults exclusively with physicians and medical groups. He has been a consultant for physicians since 1984 and routinely consults throughout the United States with leading-edge, innovative providers. Mr. Angotti's areas of expertise include practice operations analysis and improvement (patient operations, marketing, billing and collections, and relations with referral sources), practice structure (mergers, acquisitions, affiliations, practice brokerage, practice valuations), financial analysis and planning (including managed care contract analysis and negotiations), physician recruitment and retention, compliance plans, compensation plans, strategic planning, development of business plans, and personnel development.

Paul Angotti has an extensive background in the practical application of computers and other high-tech systems to the daily operations of medical practices. He developed managed care computer systems for medical groups to manage capitation. The systems now are currently sold nationally by a computer software firm.

Mr. Angotti spent 16 years with the Eastman Kodak Company, rising to positions of responsibility for managing hundreds of people and multi-million dollar projects. As the leader of many task forces, and during the course of routine job assignments at Kodak, Paul developed efficient and effective operations and financial management that met the productivity and financial goals of the organization while creating an enriched work environment for people.

The transition to medical consulting came in the early years of his long consulting career. Mr. Angotti began working with physicians that needed expertise in making the most efficient use of resources (people, money and facilities) to operate a business that was successful in terms of patients, the professional and support staff, and profit. In the mid 80's, having negotiated and implemented some of the first HMO at-risk contracts on the east coast, Paul became so involved in the medical field that he gave up his non-medical clients. Since then, has limited his practice to physicians and medical groups.

Paul has a BSME from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont and his graduate work in business finance was at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. He was a combat platoon leader in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and 25th Infantry Division, Vietnam.

Mr. Angotti is President of the Boards of Directors of the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation and the Colorado Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, Onyx Productions, Los Angeles, CA, and Bauer Associates, Inc., Lake Tahoe, NV.

Mr. Angotti has authored a book and many journal articles for national professional magazines. He teaches courses, workshops, and multi-day seminars for a variety of colleges, universities, professional and civic associations, and government organizations.
