Face the future with confidence.

The Billing, Coding, and Compliance division, formerly known as Rose & Associates, was acquired by BSM in 2017 and was originally founded by Ann and Bill Rose in 1980. With a sole concentration on ophthalmology, optometry, and other ophthalmic-related specialties, our expert consultants have over 50 years of experience.

We continue the Rose & Associates legacy by priding ourselves on having a personal, client-first approach to Medicare and third-party reimbursement compliance by helping practices optimize reimbursement and reduce regulatory risk in both the outpatient clinic and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) environments. Our expert consultants offer reliable guidance, superior training, targeted education, and day-to-day compliance support.
