What Client’s Say

The WCMS team is highly efficient, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable about the every changing workers compensation system. It is a pleasure working with everyone on staff and I don’t where I would be without Ann Richmond’s guidance. 
Justin LaPilusa, Psy.D.
WCMS has collected several hundred thousand dollars in both aging and current AR for my company. I would not have survived SB899 without them.
Glenn Nusbaum, DC QME
It has been a pleasure working with the friendly, knowledgeable, responsible staff at Work Comp Medical Services for the past 10 years. Whether it is screening referrals, sending reports out, or collecting on bills, I have full confidence in their ability to get the job done.
Miguel Alvarez, PhD, QME
WCMS was highly recommended to me by a colleague as the “best” in doing workers’ comp billing and referral work. In addition to doing excellent and consistently high-quality work, they have helped to improve report writing and keeping me abreast on changes in the field.
Jon Noordeloos, PsyD
Working with Ann and her team has been a true pleasure. They have taken very good care of me, they have always been prepared and thorough, and I know that they watch out for my long-term interests first. I couldn’t do it without them!
Michael Takamura, MD, QME
Since I began using WCMS to do my booking and collecting, my income has increased dramatically. Ann has taught me about the workers’ comp system and report writing and I consider her the “go-to” person if I have a question about a law or procedure to follow. Her staff is excellent, helpful and friendly. They really are my office staff when it comes to workers’ compensation.
Louis Fontana, MD, QME
I have been impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge demonstrated in all aspects of workers’ compensation issues. Particularly, I found Ann’s input while editing my reports to be educational, extremely helpful, even priceless. She and her staff helped me increase my caseload and I believe contributed to my success and good reputation.
Haim Belzer, PhD, QME
Being self employed in a private practice, it brings me extraordinary comfort to know that all my Workers’ Comp and billing issues are being thoroughly taken care of by WCMS.
