"I would like to take this opportunity to give my highest recommendation to Gil Weber. If you are reading this letter, you can breathe a sigh of relief that you have found a knowledgeable, practical, fair, honest consultant to actively guide you through your medical practice insurance woes.
I first knew of Gil through my reading of the American Academy of Ophthalmology "Managed Care Monograph Series" which he authored. This comprehensive series was so well written that I knew I had to get in contact with the author to assist me with a managed care contract that was overdue for renewal. I was not to be disappointed.
Through Gil's guidance I was able to objectively evaluate what was considered in our area to be the best managed care contract available. With Gil's objective assessment of the financial realities of the patient population we were even able to negotiate a 50% increase in the capitated rate. However, Gil's greatest contribution was his ability to make me see the wisdom of walking away from the table because even with such a large rate increase the opportunity costs of accepting this contract were too great.
I have never regretted turning down this local best-of-breed contract. Indeed, since that time I have used the lessons learned from Gil to evaluate many of my PPO contracts. With financial objectivity, I have since decided to go out-of-network for almost all PPOs. I now see many patients out-of-network resulting in collecting my full fee without any contractual obligations. I would not have been comfortable making these decisions prior to my interaction with Gil.
It is my hope that your practice will enjoy similar benefits if you choose to work with Gil. Regardless of what insurance contract decisions you make, you will be confident of your decision making process if Gil is working with you."

"Our office had the opportunity to work with Gil Weber earlier this year as we negotiated a contract with a fairly large insurance company.
Gil's knowledge and expertise was invaluable as we worked together through the contract, successfully negotiating changes that were to our benefit along the way. The end result was a contract I am certain many other medical practices would be envious of and one that more than met our expectations.
I appreciated Gil's perspective and his detailed approach. I have and will continue to highly recommend Gil to others."

Mauer Eye Center, P.C.
"We are a very large ophthalmology practice in Waterloo, Iowa. Mr. Weber has helped us on many occasions. We have him review many insurance and managed care contracts. He has also advised us on some difficulties we have experienced with insurance companies. The results were very favorable.
Mr. Weber is very insightful and sees the big picture very quickly. He is detail driven and does not miss a thing in his review of materials and situations. His advice is sound and with integrity.
Both Dr. Mauer and I would recommend Mr. Weber without hesitation. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us."

Raleigh Ophthalmology
"When trying to evaluate managed care contracts, there is no one better than Gil Weber to help you along the way. We have utilized his expertise on two contracts and both times we were given a great deal of insightful information which made us feel confident in our negotiations. The report Gil provides is logical and easy to understand so that even my doctors felt they understood the important points in each contract. We had tried other consultants in the past for contract review, but Gil's knowledge of managed care contracting and Ophthalmology has been far superior. Also different from the other consultants is the fact that Gil's fees are very fair. Gil makes the whole process of dealing with managed care contracts less agonizing."
