Scope of Practice

Advisory scope

Melissa Frierson, MBA offers healthcare finance, clinical research finance, reimbursement, revenue integrity, specialty service-line strategy, and operational transformation advisory services, including nonclinical advisory support for cancer centers, neuroscience programs, and cardiovascular institutes. The signed engagement defines the particular deliverables, assumptions, access, and responsibilities.

Credential and service boundaries

An MBA credential does not establish CPA licensure, attorney licensure, medical licensure, an AHIMA credential, or authority to provide regulated services. This website does not claim those credentials merely by referring to their standards.

Independent audits or attestations, legal opinions, clinical decisions, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, medical advice, investment advice, and other regulated services require professionals appropriately authorized for the jurisdiction and scope. Cancer, neuroscience, and cardiovascular consulting described on this website is financial, research-administration, reimbursement, operational, and strategic advisory—not clinical care. Consulting recommendations do not replace licensed professionals.

Client decisions

Clients retain responsibility for authorized decisions, complete and accurate records, organizational controls, required approvals, and implementation. Melissa’s own agreed responsibilities remain governed by applicable law and the engagement agreement.
