About Me

Hi, I’m Danielle Wagar, the founder of Upstate Healthcare Administration.

I have more than 15 years of experience in healthcare billing and credentialing, and I have seen too many skilled clinicians work long hours while insurance companies limit their income and control their process. You did not learn how to navigate out-of-network billing in school, and you should not have to figure it out on your own. My mission is to help you run a thriving and ethical practice that gets paid fairly for the care you provide. At Upstate Healthcare Administration, transparency comes first. You will always know what is being handled, why it is being done, and how it supports your revenue. I specialize in supporting Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, and Mental Health Providers throughout New York who want to simplify operations, increase reimbursement, and protect their time. ​ I am a Certified Provider Enrollment Specialist. (CPES)
