Strategic Planning
Angie was launching a new business offering services that were unfamiliar in her community. While she was excited about the opportunity to expand access and meet local needs, she felt uncertain about how to strategically allocate her resources and set the venture up for success. She needed support clarifying her vision, building a smart plan, and moving forward with confidence.
“[Desta’s] ability to ask insightful questions and guide meaningful discussions helped us clarify our vision that aligns deeply with our values and long-term goals.”

Desta brought together a seasoned clinician, financial analyst, and strategic operator to help Angie shape a clear and actionable business roadmap. Over a focused four-month engagement, Angie met weekly with the team to navigate challenges, refine her goals, and explore possible paths forward.
While the financial projections for her initial vision didn’t indicate strong short-term returns, the process gave Angie clarity and confidence. Desta’s findings highlighted ways to grow her current business more profitably by doubling down on what was already working - while laying the foundation for a longer-term strategy that could eventually support expanded services.

Their thoughtful and systematic guidance enabled us to address these challenges, refine our plans, and discover effective solutions. Every step of the process was carefully aligned with our objectives and core values.
What truly set Desta apart was their genuine commitment to partnership. Rather than imposing solutions, they empowered us to co-create a strategy we could fully embrace.

We highly recommend DestaHealth to any organization seeking to clarify their vision and develop a strategy with meaningful, lasting impact.”
Revenue Cycle
Shannah was overwhelmed by billing and contracting challenges - buried in claim denials and forced to write off significant amounts as bad debt. While the outstanding payments were substantial, her focus remained on patient care, and the solutions she explored felt out of budget. She needed fast, affordable support to recover tens of thousands of dollars in claims and stabilize the financial health of her practice.
“[Desta] cares deeply about the success of small practices like mine, and their persistence, commitment, and belief in what they do made all the difference.”

Desta’s revenue cycle team mobilized immediately to identify the root causes of claim denials and implement critical revcycle solutions. The team - comprised of a contract manager, biller/coder, and credentialing specialist - worked in close collaboration to untangle complex issues and recover lost revenue.
Over the course of a 10-month engagement, Desta uncovered additional lost revenues and developed targeted strategies for collections, ensuring Shannah left no money on the table. With regular check-ins and transparent shared reporting, Shannah stayed informed on progress while remaining focused on patient care. As revenue began to flow back into the practice, she was able to reinvest in her business and plan for future growth.

“Working with DestaHealth was a game-changer for my practice. For years, I struggled with billing challenges, unpaid claims, and frustrating insurance roadblocks that felt impossible to resolve. Desta stepped in, untangled the mess, and fought tirelessly to recover revenue I had long written off as lost. Their expertise in revenue cycle management—especially in mental health—was invaluable, and they didn’t stop until we saw real results.
One of the most incredible outcomes was their success in appealing claims that were 2-3 years old. I had assumed that money was gone forever, but Desta refused to give up. For nearly a year, they put in relentless effort, pushed through endless back-and-forth with insurance, and never lost sight of what was right. In the end, they recovered tens of thousands of dollars—funds that not only lifted a financial burden but also allowed me to think about expanding services for my patients.
Beyond just their expertise, working with DestaHealth was truly a blessing. They care deeply about the success of small practices like mine, and their persistence, commitment, and belief in what they do made all the difference. They don’t just offer solutions—they truly partner with you, invest in your success, and help your practice move forward in ways that matter. I would recommend them to any practice owner looking for a trusted partner to help navigate the challenges of running and growing a business.”
