Over the years, we've grown AskMariaTodd™ into one of the world's prominent healthcare industry consulting firms with a global distribution of talent across six continents.
Our collection of healthcare industry experts and thought leaders are called upon to assist in a variety of public and private niche projects and initiatives coordinated through our central office. At AskMariaTodd, consultants are not "employed", but instead each independent contractor with whom I work is vetted and privileged by the others in the group to practice among us. Between us, we've delivered tens of thousands of professional seminars and educational programs, and produced over 40 best-selling industry trade reference books published by renowned professional and technical publishers.

We specialize in areas of healthcare operations, health law, reimbursement, administration and clinical medicine that are too small for most independent consultants to remain viable and competitive. But together, we support one another professionally, share in of economies of scale, work independently on projects as a group of niche specialty consultants, share in the cost of administrative support and overhead, and collaborate with one another on projects worldwide, as trusted colleagues.
