Dear Jerry; We rate patients

Mark Marciano - 05/31/2009 - 18:35 pm

Dear Jerry;

We rate patients strictly for marketing purposes. Rating patients has nothing to do with whether or not we would offer different levels of care, rather when trying to market to patients with direct mails, etc., it only makes good business sense to limit your marketing dollars that will bring the best return on the investment.
