testimonials | what our clients have to say
When we switched our billing and revenue cycle management to the Patriot Group, we had a significant increase in collections. Our Claims were filed timely, Patriot followed up on claims frequently and appealed no payments/low payments aggressively. The result is we now receive fair compensation for our services. The team is responsive to our requests and are great to work with.

Tom Force and Patriot Group have been instrumental to the growth of my practice.
They are due advocates of both physicians and patients at a time when no such industry advocates can be found. Tom and his staff have been instrumental in increasing practice revenue without compromising patient volume.
The Patriot Group team possesses a profound understanding of how to navigate through the complexities of health insurance claims in order to get them paid quickly and at appropriate rates. His services are a great asset to the medical field. This has allowed me to spend more time focusing on patient care knowing he is getting the job done.
He has my highest recommendation.
James Bruno, MD
Tom, bar none, you offer the best service in the country.
As far as I know, yours is the only one-stop-shop for all issues related billing.
From 24/7 availability, advice and guidance on all legal issues regarding billing, and solid support from other experts I would recommend your group 1000x over.
I can't say enough positive things about The Patriot Group. Feel free to give out of my cell phone to any potential clients

Insurance Companies are big, powerful and have deep pockets. They often bully, intimidate and strong arm clinics into paying large sums of money as the result of one sided post payment audits.
However, Tom, The Patriot Group and their in-house law firm will not let the insurance companies push you around.
Having previously worked for an insurance company, Tom knows how they operate and understands what makes them tick. He is always on the job, easily accessible and makes me feel as if my case is the only one he's working on.
Their entire team is determined, persistent and thorough.
Thank goodness Tom Force, The Force Law Firm and The Patriot Group are on our side!

Thomas Force, Esq., and the law offices at The Patriot Group defended my practice against a large insurance company special investigation audit. Tom is very experienced with insurance regulations and laws. He has personal relationships with most insurers. Tom was able to obtain a significant reduction of the audit demand, saving me hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. If you are a healthcare provider under investigation by an insurer or otherwise in a special investigation audit, there is no better person to defend you than Tom and his company. He gets my highest recommendation.
Charlotte Ann Rhee, M.D. – Huntington Station, N.Y.
I've known Tom and his team now for several years and I couldn't recommend The Patriot Group anymore strongly.
Tom is super smart and knowledgeable about the insurance industry and all of their silly tactics. I have immense respect for him as both a person and professional.
Being in private practice for almost a decade, I know first-hand what the typical David vs Goliath battles we sometimes fight are often like with these large companies. I can't think of a better group I'd want there in the trenches next to us than Tom Force and his team.
James A Gohar, MD
Tom Force is a fantastic attorney and greatly assisted me with several insurance issues. He is a true expert in medical insurance law and is extremely knowledge when it comes to out-of-network claims. His staff is response and easy to work with. Our outcome was excellent and I am very satisfied with his representation. I truly believe his is in the doctor’s corner.
Neil J. Zemmel, MD, FACS
The Patriot Group is essential for out of network providers. Since engaging with The Patriot Group in 2015, our organization has become more successful and profitable through on-site staff training and webinars regarding out of network appeals and insurance processing insight. Utilizing The Patriot Group for both legal advice and representation has also garnered both knowledge and revenue. There really isn’t a better source to enhance your practice.
