Testimonial

Our greatest concern in changing from our own billing service was the complicated transition period. HAP managed it seamlessly despite some  IT issues with our hospital, without a moment’s lapse in our collection. We have been receiving attentive, personal service and communications, and very knowledgeable support.  We recommend the services of HAP without reservation.
