ING Strategies Practice Management Consulting
We have been fortunate to work with numerous medical practices for more than 20 years. Much like doctors who have spent decades in the field, this has given us a wide base of knowledge. We use this knowledge to bring a unique and diverse background of solutions for you and your practice. Depending on the issues you are experiencing, we can provide expert recommendations to address the individual needs of your practice. No matter if you are a solo practitioner or if you have a large practice, we will provide you with the personalized care and service you deserve.

ING Strategies
Independent Networking Group (ING) was founded in 1996 as a small company with a big idea. With a background in physician recruitment and medical practice management, Mary-Ellen Schimmoller established ING in order to offer her expertise to a wider range of healthcare professionals. Over the years, ING has had the opportunity to assist practices throughout the US in a wide array of services customized to their own specific needs or goals. We’ve met a great number of dedicated professionals who are attempting to balance the highest level of professional health services with their own fiscal health. As our name suggests, we are independently networking with groups of all specialties to share ideas and best practice philosophies. A few of the areas in which we have provided assistance include: personal and staff compensation, reimbursement maximization, overhead cost reductions, staff training, and organizational policies. Our goal is to research ways in which we can further bring practices together to look at economies of scale, staff development, administrative support services, and practice management. More than 20 years of working with a variety of medical practices has given us an eye for identifying both shortcomings to address and new opportunities to take advantage of. Our practice management consulting can guide you toward effective staff training, improved productivity, and other ideas that fit the individual needs and goals of your practice. Our mission is to provide the strategies that independent practices need to take the weight off their doctors and give them more freedom to do what they do best: care for their patients.
Our first step with you as a new client is to learn about your practice, the services you offer, and the problems and challenges you face. As part of this, we perform a comprehensive review of your medical practice. You’re probably thinking that this sounds a lot like getting a complete medical history and performing a physical, and you are absolutely correct. You certainly know that it is impossible to fix any problems if you don’t get down to the root cause.
We examine every aspect of your practice and then report our findings to you. This allows you to understand what we are seeing and why we are recommending the actions we recommend.
Specific areas we will evaluate and assess include (but are not limited to):
Identifying new revenue opportunities
Revenue and reimbursement analysis
Personal and staff compensation
Reimbursement maximization
Overhead cost reductions
Staff training
Organizational policies
Having identified areas of your practice that are of greatest priority, we will provide our recommended changes and solutions. Together we will work on implementing those processes that will help your practice realize its potential.
