Kelly Wisness: Hi, this is Kelly Wisness. We’re pleased to welcome back Kristin DeGroat, Besler Holdings’ Chief Legal Officer. In this episode, Kristin will provide us with a glimpse into Besler Holdings’ first webinar, Medicare Cost Report Appeals and Reopenings: What You Need to Know, live on Wednesday, May 13, at 1 PM Eastern Time.
