For many years, Chargemaster Maintenance Services and SLG, Inc. have worked closely together, even as we have built our businesses separately. Through ChargemasterCare, we are aligning our resources in a strategic alliance to bring our combined 50+ years of experience and expertise to serve our clients.

About Chargemaster Maintenance Services

After many years operating independently, in 2004, Wolfgang Associates, Inc. a Portland, Oregon based company, acquired the Chargemaster Services division of National Health Systems, Inc. (NHS) of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. After the acquisition, the company took the name Chargemaster Maintenance Services and began providing services primarily through third party service vendors. CMS found that this arrangement often added unnecessary expense for clients and limited the relationship between analysts and the client, a critical component for successful chargemaster management. Through ChargemasterCare, CMS continues to offer high-quality work while also cultivating direct relationships with clients.
