ABOUT ME

MEET THE FOUNDER (Danielle Wagar)

The Person Behind the Practice

I have seen too many skilled clinicians spend their nights and weekends chasing claims and fixing paperwork instead of focusing on the patients they built their practice to serve. With over 15 years of experience in medical billing, revenue cycle management, and provider credentialing, my goal is simple: help you build clean, compliant billing systems so your practice gets paid fully and on time, every time.

As a Certified Provider Enrollment Specialist, I bring credentialing expertise that most billing services simply do not offer. I work exclusively with solo providers and small group practices across the United States specializing in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and mental health. I know your specific challenges because I have spent over a decade solving exactly them. Together we streamline workflows, reduce denials, improve cash flow, and protect your time.

At Upstate Healthcare Admin, transparency is not just a value, it is how I work. You will always know what is being handled, why it is being done, and how it supports your revenue. No guesswork, no surprises, no chasing me for updates.

Outside of work I live in Upstate New York with my husband and two daughters. When I am not untangling insurance rules you can usually find me hiking or in the garden. I understand what it feels like to juggle family, a full workload, and nonstop admin, and I build systems with that reality in mind.

My Mission

My mission is to get you paid correctly, on time, without the stress of managing it yourself.

MY METHOD

How I Work

Every engagement is built on the same four principles.

Transparency

You will always know exactly what is happening with your billing and credentialing. No black boxes, no vague updates, no surprises.

Precision

Billing and credentialing errors cost practices thousands of dollars. I work with the attention to detail that your revenue deserves.

Simplicity

Complex insurance systems do not require complex solutions. I build clean, repeatable processes that your team can actually follow.

Partnership

I am not a vendor you hire and forget. I work alongside you as a long term partner invested in the health of your practice.

MY METHOD

Beyond Consulting

I am also building Upstate Access, a self-serve credentialing portal designed for independent providers who want to manage their own enrollment, track progress in real time, and access expert help exactly when they need it.
