About HONORIS: Behavioral Health in Arizona and Nationwide
Who Is HONORIS Group?
With over three decades of experience in healthcare, disability support, and human services, the HONORIS Group team brings its expertise to the ever-evolving field of Behavioral Health. Based in Arizona, but serving clients Nationwide, our consultants have their finger on the pulse of this growing community offering a wide range of services to support organizations.
HONORIS Group consultants are experts in revenue cycle management, medical billing and coding, insurance billing, forensic insurance auditing, policies and procedures (P&P's), compliance programs and implementation, service direction, state waiver programs, CMS expertise, training, and business development.
Clinicians have access to continuing education, but administrators often lack the same level of targeted support for their specific needs. This is where HONORIS Group comes in.
We serve as a comprehensive resource for Healthcare service delivery for clients both in Arizona and Nationwide. We provide knowledge, research, and support to administrators, practitioners, individuals, and families.
