Samaritan Medical Center's Annual Physician Recognition Dinner Samaritan head been working with their former vendor since 2012, and are excited to transition to Kopp. The new partner is 'well-regarded billing agency with extensive experience in serving hospitals and healthcare organizations throughout New York State. Their commitment to excellent customer service and a strong focus on patient experience made them the ideal choice for our community.'
