Our Care Management experts help keep hospitals and providers as healthy as their patients.
Compliance specialists are more important than ever in today’s health care environment. Medical necessity decisions are complex. Should a hospital place patients in observation? Or admit them as inpatients? A flawed determination may result in increased compliance risk, margin exposure, misallocation of resources and denial of claims.
Schumacher Group Care Management helps clients make intelligent compliance choices concerning utilization and case management. Our expertly trained physician advisors and nurse case managers provide both real-time and retrospective medical necessity screening and compliance verification to ensure that hospitals and providers make the right medical necessity decisions for patients 100% of the time. We have the people, processes and technology to help our clients achieve compliance across the continuum of care.
Getting patient classification right the first time streamlines workflow, increases compliance scores and improves the health care experience for physicians and patients alike.
Healthy career options for those who heal with their hands.
Our Physical Medicine team delivers hands-on care that gets results and makes a patient’s rehabilitation experience as positive as possible. We treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal needs, including neck and back pain, post-surgical rehab, work injuries, sports injuries, strains, sprains, tendonitis, bursitis and much more. Treatments are based in manual therapy and medical exercise therapy. We even offer innovative unloading therapy – like pool therapy without the water – that is often more effective.
We offer multiple options for engagement, including consulting and staffing contracts. And we provide the highest levels of training and expertise for the best outcomes. Our certified Physical Medicine professionals are committed to getting patients back to work and play without pain.
Opportunities for those good with numbers. And patients.
Our Medical Billing advocates are approachable, knowledgeable, proactive and responsive.
Contact Center representatives empathetically reach out to patients to help find solutions that resolve their accounts. Our goal is to provide clear, concise, correct and timely financial information. In emotionally trying times, our staff often sends notecards to personally communicate sympathy or encouragement to a patient or a patient’s family.
Contact Center representatives receive continuous training to deliver the highest level of service. And satisfaction surveys help us measure the success of our efforts.
In addition, our world-class website makes it easy for patients to review their account information, update personal or insurance data, or make a payment. We’ve designed our statements to be easy-to-read, informative and understandable.

Parker Templeton, CEO Franklin Foundation Hospital, Franklin, LA
Consistent, highly qualified group utilizing the latest in technology to continually improve performance.
Gerald Fornoff, CEO River Parishes Hospital, LaPlace, LA
My daughter and I had a very positive experience at SSM Lake St Louis emergency room. Every person we came in contact with treated us with respect and professionalism. From the moment we walked in the door, each person involved in the care of my daughter went above and beyond what I would expect at a visit to an emergency room. I regret that I do not have each person's name to give credit to other than Dr. Sutterer. He was compassionate and skilled. The admitting woman, along with the triage nurse and our personal nurse, also gave us exceptional care. Even the gentleman who escorted my daughter to the imaging area was so kind and thoughtful.
Leslie Lewis, guardian of patient
Schumacher Group has been a great partner in growing our hospitalist program. Their team has been forthcoming with communication, and we look forward to continued improvement and success.
Donna Lohr, MSC, Monroe Hospital - Hospitalist
Our HM doctor has been professional, responsive and handles issues and concerns with tact - and our SG representative coordinates the program with ease, posts schedules and keeps up with changes. We are very proud of our hospitalists, and appreciate the value they bring to our community.
Janie Fruge, CNO, West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital – Hospitalist
We are very pleased with the start-up and ongoing operations of Care Management in our facility. My staff and our ER physicians and attendings have had an overall very good experience working with your team. Patients having regular Medicare and Medicare replacement policy coverages have been our primary focus for Care Management. Appropriately determining patient status has driven positive results for both patients and the hospital. We know we made the right choice in working with Schumacher Care Management.
Patrick L. Wallace, Administrator East Texas Medical Center
We have been very impressed with the outcomes of our program since we've begun using Schumacher Group Care Management services. We are making sure that our patient accounts are compliant from the beginning and are avoiding the rework later on and also avoiding the possibility of getting denials from reviewers at a later time. We feel good knowing that the patient account status is correct and that the patients are not being charged any unnecessary fees due to improper classification. Our facility is very pleased that we chose Schumacher Group Care Management and we definitely would make the same decision again if we were faced with the same opportunity.
Don Shaw, VP Revenue Cycle Baton Rouge General Medical Center

I was impressed at the rapid time and professional attention Marvair employees received. The employees also mentioned how quickly they were in and out of the clinic. They too were very appreciative of the proficient attention they received. I do hope that this program will continue!

We have been working with WW for several years now, and I can't say enough about the service they deliver. We utilize them for Work Comp incidents and for our Wellness Program. After our health events organized by WW every year, the employees are always commenting on how great they were.

I just want to extend a thank you to WellnessWorks. I think we all know how difficult it can be to keep track of so many, especially when it comes to Workers' Comp claims and Wellness benefits. With the help of WellnessWorks, our experiences have been made much simpler and our visits to the Clinic and ER have run much more smoothly than we feel they would have without your efforts...we are grateful you have extended your assistance to us.
