Lotris Medical Concepts was founded in 2011 by Ellie Bogardus and Michael Mensing. When they came together, both Ellie and Michael had been working and teaching in the medical field and had years of experience as medical coders. They saw a need in the industry for an innovative and customer-based approach to coding and decided to fill that void with Lotris Medical Concepts, a fresh, new, and hands-on professional coding service for a modern world.
