“The staff of Myers and Stauffer have a commitment to providing high-quality client services in a timely manner. Many state agencies have limited resources and rely on us to provide needed services. I’m happy to work with a group of people who take responsibility for responding to this need seriously.”
– John Dresslar
John has been with the firm since 1991 and is a partner-in-charge of the firm’s Nursing Facility/MDS Verification engagement team which includes nursing facility rate setting, nursing facility upper payment limit (UPL) demonstration, minimum data set (MDS) data processing, MDS verification and pay for performance reimbursement consulting.
Over his 35 years with the firm, John has developed extensive experience providing consulting and public accounting services to state Medicaid agencies regarding health care reimbursement issues.
