"Her Courses are Amazing!"

"The courses that Maria Todd offers simply aren't available anywhere else!
Not at colleges or universities, not through MGMA, HFMA or SHRM, not at vocational-technical centers or any of the road show seminar companies. Don't wait to register because her courses and Master Classes sell out almost overnight."

"Negotiating managed care contracts can be intimidating and confusing. They often appear one-sided and unfavorable leaving providers to feel powerless. People end up feeling they need a lawyer to decipher this cryptic language. I flew all the way to St George, Utah to attend training with Maria Todd on “Introduction to Managed Care for New Hires” when I took over the Assistant Director of Managed Care position in my organization and I needed training on how to review and effectively negotiate contracts. The training was phenomenal, very informative and very detailed. Maria pointed out all the important terms and clauses to look out for, how to develop your contracting strategy and how to emphasis your brand value by distinguishing your services among competitors. After attending this training, I felt more empowered in my approach to negotiating contracts and asking for terms and rates that meet my organization needs. I started reviewing contracting with different eyes. Highly recommended!"

"I recently met Dr. Maria Todd to learn more about possible medical travel ideas for my workplace. I was extremely impressed with the level of knowledge Dr. Todd has, not only on medical travel, but on the entire issue of healthcare in the United States and literally worldwide. I learned more from Dr. Todd in our few hours together than I had in years. I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Todd if you need information on the many aspects of healthcare delivery and cost containment options."

Before selecting a trainer or course, first consider what you really need.  Start by asking yourself these questions:

  1. What level of training do you need (a high-level overview, a deep dive into a particular aspect of a subject, executive strategy and tactics, something else?)?
  2. Who should participate in the training (decision makers who need to buy into the strategy and tactical approach or practitioners and admin staff)?

Maria will guide you in selecting the best course for you and your team.  If a trainer does not ask you a lot of questions or try to understanding your needs OR if you feel like you are getting a one-size-fits-all approach, it may be time to look elsewhere.

Training courses from $3500/day plus travel.

No limit on class participants.
