Margaret Maley brings over 30 years of orthopaedic experience to her clients working with KarenZupko & Associates as a consultant and speaker for 20 years. With a B.S.N. from The University of Illinois and Master’s degree from Rush University, Ms. Maley began her career in Chicago as a clinical nurse specialist managing several FDA studies. Moving to Houston in 1986, she transitioned to the business side of orthopaedics. “Front-line” experience managing orthopaedic practices gives her unique insight into the challenges facing orthopaedic surgeons and their staff on a daily basis. She is acutely aware of the importance of correct coding and accurate documentation for proper reimbursement and to minimize the risk of audit. A skilled communicator, she can sort out difficult orthopaedic coding and reimbursement issues. Ms. Maley’s fast-paced, humorous presentations make her a favorite of surgeons, non-physician providers, administrators and staff.
