    Testimonials

  • Donn & Company has helped us achieve a 3 percentage point increase in our medical bill review savings (a roughly 10% overall reduction to our medical costs) and a 45% reduction to our per bill rate in our first year using the DonnCo Model. In addition, DonnCo audits our program on an ongoing basis and drives performance by working on our behalf with vendors to expand PPO participation, evaluate network order and ensure that the most qualified staff are assigned to our account. DonnCo has taught us so much about the bill review industry and how they make money at their clients' expense - we could never have achieved these results without DonnCo.

    Steve Craig Managing Director, VML Insurance Programs

  • Donn & Company was instrumental in negotiating program performance improvements that resulted in a cost avoidance in excess of $2 million over the first year of the program (a full 800-basis point gain) If you think you've wrung out all the savings from your managed care program, think again. Working with David Donn is like getting an MBA in this often overlooked area in the workers' compensation arena. I recommend him without reserve.

  • By maximizing our managed care savings, DonnCo assisted the MTA in closing a $29 million budget gap.

    Jeffrey Gary Former Manager, Workers' Compensation, SFMTA

  • We are running about 15 percentage points higher in gross savings since bringing DonnCo on board, and we achieved very substantial savings in the first year. Our savings has increased more in the second year compared to the first. Beyond the cost savings, DonnCo has worked with me on ways to improve the operations of bill review, etc. In addition, they have worked on subsequent engagements and reviewing of vendors in the area of pharmacy networks, and nurse case management. They are a great resource and subject matter expert that is great to have when my internal resources are very limited.

    Mark Field Former Risk Manager, Raley’s Supermarkets

  • DonnCo, Inc. has been instrumental in assisting us in oversight of bill review, case management and UR, and has provided data and support that has enabled us to negotiate more favorable rates and reporting formats from our vendors in those areas. As a result of their efforts, we have realized over $24M in savings and fee improvements since 2004.
