Who We Are
The primary mission of MedBooks, and its affiliate company, Medical Fee Analytics, is to assist its clients in reaching positive financial outcomes though targeted coding and realistic billing techniques. Our expertise in the coding and billing area is unmatched and our credentials, unrivaled. We have served over 35,000 clients and continue to make strides towards reducing coding errors, negotiating fees and seeking reimbursement for millions of dollars left on the table.
We have provided testimony to a great number of plaintiffs and defendants regarding usual, customary and reasonable fees. Our proprietary software produces the RUCR Report that compares the actual charges made by any medical provider to the usual, customary and reasonable values for individual HCPCS/CPT codes they have used. This report provides solid benchmarks from which to settle any accident or injury claim.
The RUCR report provides information to establish compliance with customary
billing values and medical codes used by medical professionals. Our expertise in the coding and billing arena stems from founders Patrice (Trish) Resch's and Philip Resch's insight regarding the need for an automated process.
Previously, analyzing medical billing records was tedious and an overwhelming amount of time was spent on data entry in order to compare actual medical charges and the reasonable values of such medical provider's services.
Third parties, including medical professional, may use the RUCR report as an outside source to support and confirm the medical billing and coding process is done properly. The RUCR Report efficiently provides a systematic auditing process that demonstrates inconsistencies and errors in the coding process and helps individuals correct the process to be more accurate and consistent.
Each RUCR Report is prepared with the specific geo-zip code in mind and takes into account coding rules based on the American Medical Association’s CPT book and Medicare policies. Some of these rules (e.g., multiple procedure surgery rule, timed coding rules) may reduce the values of services while still others (e.g., units) may increase the value of services. In all cases, we strive to present the facts such that a fair and equitable settlement can be reached.
Our US based team of professionals is educated, seasoned, certified and skilled in the arts of medical coding, billing, pricing and medical transcription. We know the coding and billing rules, and how to employ them. We work with those folks who need to understand how medical services are billed and priced. Our clients include trucking companies, automobile insurance carriers and attorneys. We can help.
Our approach to your bottom line is simple. We analyze the medical and billing records from both a coding and billing standpoint, price the services based on the usual, customary and reasonable values for the given zip codes, and compare those rates and coding techniques to what each client has provided to us. Finally, we report our findings in a format that includes the details needed to answer questions about the real value of the case (as opposed to what people may “want” the value to be).
Our attorney clients see that we provide sound logic to our reports using documented coding rule sets thereby helping them achieve fair settlements and win cases in less time and with less effort. Our attorneys move on to other cases and strengthen the relationships they have with their adjusters who shell out less than before.
Our insurance and trucking customers are able to know (based on solid data) how much their cases are actually worth, whether they can negotiate these cases with in-house counsel or even if the case load should be farmed out to their outside legal teams. Based on the RUCR Report, they are often able to reach settlements outside of the courtroom and reduce the costs overall for all parties. Because our certified team members specialize in these areas of medical coding and billing we have been able to recoup millions of dollars for our clients that had been otherwise left on the table and support fair and reasonable adjustments of the dollars charged for medical services.

Patrice (Trish) Morin-Resch, CPC, CPMA, CMRS
Trish Resch is a renowned author and a highly recognized coding expert. Since her days at the American Medical Association, she has been acknowledged as a subject matter expert in medical coding and billing. Trish has taught coding all over the world for groups like the DoD, Minnesota Medical Association, Minnesota Hospital Association, Texas Medical Association, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons to name a few. Most recently, she has has provided a series of webinars for the American Bar Association on medical coding topics.
Trish has published over 50 books on medical coding and has been awarded both the Texty and McGuffey Awards for her cp”Teach” series through the Textbook and Academic Authors Association. She has also been inducted into the TAA Council of Fellows and is one of the most sought-after expert witnesses in medical coding cases. She has provided expert testimony for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and has presented in both Federal and State Courts.
When Trish was recruited to the American Medical Association in Chicago, she became the editor of the CPT book. Trish answered over 8,000 written inquiries about CPT in its first year of implementation.
Realizing that there was little to no training on CPT codes, she left the AMA and founded MedBooks, Inc. Our business provides super-bill and fee analysis and review for physicians.
In 2016, Trish co-founded Physician Fee Analytics and Medical Fee Analytics. Physician Fee Analytics (PFA) and Medical Fee Analytics (MFA) are businesses that help optimize medical revenues by calculating the usual, customary, and reasonable charges for the CPT codes employed in a specific geographical region.
PFA and MFA were established to bring specific medical industry experience, knowledge, education, and credentials to analyzing fees and business information for physicians, physician groups, chiropractors, surgeons and ophthalmologists. Using proprietary software via the RUCR Report and years of experience, PFA and MFA can be the missing puzzle piece for our clients. The teams at both companies help clients understand where they stand in relation to the usual, customary, and reasonable charges for their services in their respective geo zip codes.
As an author, Trish has more than 50 copyrights. One of her books can even be found in more than 900 colleges and universities.
Because Trish saw the need for a CPT book, she developed and wrote the definitive book on coding called “Teach®.” She then implemented MedBooks, Inc. online bookstore, with over 142,000 medical titles.
Her books have won both the Texty and McGuffey Awards, which are the highest rewards in the profession, through the Text and Academic Author’s Association’s (TAA). One of her books won the International Independent Book Publishers Association’s Ben Franklin Award for Science. Trish was honored with the Presidents Silver Star Award Textbook Excellence Award (Texty Award, a peer review award based on quality of the book).
Trish graduated from College of St. Elizabeth’s with a double degree in Chemistry and Art and a minor in Psychology. She studied basic medicine at the Universidad of Monterey for three years. Also, Trish has obtained the highest certifications in coding.
Trish has chaired the Textbook and Authors Association (TAA) annual convention.
