PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BESLER Consulting, a leading financial and operational consultancy to healthcare providers, is pleased to announce the expansion of their Care Coordination and Compliance practice, with the integration of Dr. Frank L. Urbano's expertise and experience.

"Dr. Urbano's unique skill set and experience in the development of Physician Advisory and Case Management training programs will be extremely valuable to our clients in their efforts to stem the tide of medical necessity denials and recoupments," according to Brian Sherin, President of BESLER Consulting.

"The increase in Governmental and Commercial recovery audits, with many focused on medical necessity, results in a need for Hospitals to provide additional training to Physician Advisors and ED Case Managers," explained Mr. Sherin.  "With the addition of Dr. Urbano, BESLER Consulting is well positioned to provide a comprehensive training program solution to our clients." This solution encompasses an assessment to identify the client's resource and education needs, and development of an appropriate physician and case management education and continuing educational support program.

Dr. Urbano serves as the Medical Director of Care Management at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, is board certified in Internal Medicine, and has a wealth of experience in the inter-professional approach to treatment and management of patients in this era of increased medical necessity scrutiny. Previously, Dr. Urbano was associated with a large teaching hospital in New Jersey where he was the architect of an observation conversion program that resulted in $20 million in additional revenue the first year.
