Margaret M. Maley, BSN, MS, Consultant and Speaker
Margaret Maley brings 24 years of experience in orthopaedics having held positions of increasing responsibility in both the clinical and business side of academic and private practices.
With a BSN from The University of Illinois, Ms. Maley began her nursing career in Chicago at Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center. For five years she worked with Dr. Jorge Galante conducting clinical research, overseeing several FDA studies, and managing clinical aspects of the practice. In 1984 she earned her masters degree with a concentration in orthopaedic nursing from Rush University.
For the past 15 years, Ms. Maley has concentrated on the business aspects of orthopaedics. With nine years of management experience she has a unique insight into the nuts and bolts of orthopaedic practice management. Her background on the “front line” makes her acutely aware of the importance of correct coding and accurate documentation for maximizing reimbursement. She is recognized by her peers for being able to solve difficult orthopaedic coding and reimbursement problems using strong clinical and business skills.
Known for her ability to relate to orthopaedic surgeons using “their language”, she is able to convince most of the value of surgeon participation in the reimbursement process. This unique skill makes her an asset to staff and administrators alike.
Margaret developed and is an instructor for the national workshop series KarenZupko & Associates conducts with sponsorship from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. She is in demand by physicians and their staff for seminars and workshops on orthopaedic coding and practice related issues.
