Our Story…..
February 1996, was the date when our company was created at the request of providers that were seeking an alternative to the age old standard of managing the business side of things onsite. Independent providers were lamenting about having to take care of HR, Payroll, Property Management needs, on top of managing the billing and headaches associated with collecting from their patients. All of these tasks needing to be completed, all while seeing patients was taking its toll. And the rest is history…we are still here 27 years later!
Ascend Practice Management has a client roster of creative, caring and profitable practices across the country. Although we may headquartered in Northwest Indiana, our work with clients all across the country gives us the insight of what urban providers are experiencing, while also understanding the nuances of providers based in rural communities. Our company specializes in providing comprehensive solutions…that means our cadre of services all work interchangeably to make your life easier. We bring extensive experience and professionalism to every encounter and can customize our support to your individual needs and concerns.
