Winter 2021: Duva-Sawko

by fcepadmin | Jan 27, 2021

To kick off FCEP’s 50th anniversary year, we asked our most dedicated partners — FCEP/EMLRC Annual Corporate Sponsors, who donate $10,000 or more each year — why they choose to invest in educating and supporting the emergency medicine industry. Read on to learn not only how these companies can support you and your practice, but why they love to do so.

Founded by emergency physicians over 23 years ago, DuvaSawko delivers high quality business solutions exclusively to EM physician groups. Their solutions, support and unmatched analytics are designed to help EM practices identify missing revenue, increase operational efficiencies and mitigate compliance risk. Their detailed and thorough approach has resulted in DuvaSawko collecting up to 30% more revenue for their clients.

DuvaSawko takes pride in the unparalleled level of personalized and customized attention the provide to each client. Each client’s dedicated account management team is only a phone call away, at any time of the day.

“As a DuvaSawko client, you’re never just ‘a number,’” says CEO Jill Reynolds. “We handle each client with the same level of care and acuity, whether your practice sees 1,000 patients a year or 10,000 patients.”

DuvaSawko’s coding and billing experts go beyond what they can do for the company’s benefit. Their nationally-renowned Coding & Compliance Officer, Nettie McFarland, provides physician training on an as-needed basis to ensure that providers are coding at the highest level of reimbursement possible. The company offers a Coding Academy, where medical coders entering the field can prepare for the credentialing process through extensive and robust training. DuvaSawko also publishes complementary and informative white papers about critical current topics in the healthcare industry.

“Our founders, being emergency medicine physicians themselves, have always supported growth and advancement within the industry, which is at the core of EMLRC/FCEP,” says Reynolds.

DuvaSawko is dedicated to increasing awareness within the specialty, and actively looks for opportunities to share improvements or enhancements they have encountered with others in the industry. This is why they love FCEP’s annual conference, Symposium by the Sea, and sponsor its biggest event, Casino Night, every year.

“Symposium by the Sea is such a phenomenal opportunity for sharing knowledge and expanding networks,” says Reynolds. “I’d love to see more groups show up and take advantage of this amazing opportunity. It’s therapeutic to look back on times when we were able to gather with friends and colleagues without the threat of a pandemic looming over us.” ■
