"Rob Feldman of Corona Consulting LLC is an innovative leader in healthcare finance. He excels at contracting, physician relations, and board presentations. His expertise and positivity was a catalyst in the turn-around at Sonoma Valley Hospital" — Kelly Mather, President and CEO

"Rob Feldman and Corona Consulting LLC brought a wealth of talents to Sonoma Valley Hospital. Not only is he an exceptional transactional CFO, he also has a broad understanding of health care delivery as it pertains to payers, professional contracts as well as the delivery of patient care by physicians. He acted as the administrative representative to the operating room, was instrumental in our new building project as an owner representative, and led the team that began our implementation of an Electronic Health Record. He acted as the lead negotiator for our affiliation with Marin General Hospital and our membership in PRIMA Medical Foundation. I worked with Rob on a daily basis. If you are thinking of engaging Rob for your organization “sign him up and don’t look back". — Robert Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer

Desert Orthopedics
Bend Oregon

"Desert Orthopedics had a vacancy in the CEO/Administrator position, and we were facing some important strategic and financial issues at the time. We needed a person who could not only maintain our current operations, but also help with future planning and problem solving. Rob Feldman came to us as interim executive director for six months, along with another consultant in a team role. Together they addressed practice finances, staff development, operations, governance and strategic planning. Rob worked closely with our physicians and partner board, and we saw important progress during that time. I would recommend him to other medical practices in need of executive management services". — Pat Hansen, CEO

FSC Health, Inc.

"FSC Health, Inc. has been a leading innovator of physician owned surgical hospitals including Fresno Surgery Center and Thousand Oaks Surgical Hospital, both of which were recently sold to a specialty hospital management company. Corona Consulting LLC had a key role in negotiating managed care contracts for both our hospitals and also our affiliated endoscopy center. Our unique case mix called for a systematic and strategic approach to pricing and reimbursement. Corona Consulting LLC developed methodologies and analysis that were specific to our goals, and completed many challenging negotiations with payors to get those strategies implemented. Our hallmark has been quality care that is patient centered. Corona was successful in getting that factored into rate negotiations, including support for our prestigious designation as a center of excellence for bariatric surgery for Blue Cross of California". — Alan Pierrot MD, CEO
