Dear physicians, hospital administrators, and health care professionals:

Braverman EECP Heart Centers is the leading provider of Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) in the United States. Founder Debra Braverman, M.D. is an internationally recognized expert in the treatment, and has treated more patients with EECP than any physician in the U.S.

More than one hundred scientific papers and clinical studies have been published in recent years documenting EECP’s safety, efficacy, widespread applicability, and both short- and long-term benefits. It is the only clinically proven non-invasive treatment for angina, and the only non-pharmacological treatment for congestive heart failure. More than 650 centers in the United States – including The Mayo Clinic, The Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medical Center, and Duke University – currently offer EECP as part of their daily practice to treat cardiac patients.

As the population of cardiac patients with complex co-morbidities grows, the need for EECP grows as well. Integrating EECP into your practice is an expansion opportunity and a unique way to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. With it, you will provide the full scope of cardiac care, thereby attracting a wider variety of patients.

The treatment’s success rate is considerable, but achieving the best possible clinical outcome is predicated on the provider’s ability to adapt the treatment to the individual needs of each patient. Braverman EECP Heart Centers has developed effective methods of recruiting and educating patients and training staff to provide the highest quality of care. We have outlined well-tested procedures for efficiently opening and operating EECP treatment centers.

In response to ongoing inquiries from physicians and healthcare facilities requesting our assistance in establishing successful EECP practices, we have developed a consulting package designed to meet the individual needs of any EECP provider. We offer consulting services in any or all of the following areas:

• patient recruitment
• marketing, advertising, and public relations
• billing and reimbursement
• clinical and clerical training
• patient screening
• quality assurance program
• patient education program
