About Us
ECM'S STORY
ECM was founded in 1999 by two medical billing experts, Bert Lurch & Louis Burke. With their roots in the North Shore-LIJ (now Northwell) Health System and other New York hospitals, the two created ECM in order to provide private practices with access to the strategies that large hospitals and health systems use to maximize their revenue.
Today, ECM prides itself on helping medical providers stay profitable and providing total practice solutions. Along with coding and billing, ECM's services include credentialing, practice management, compliance, revenue enhancement, marketing and more. Not sure how we can help your practice grow? Our Complete Practice Review (CPR) provides a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of your practice, identifying gaps and offering practical tips and strategies for improvement.
