To Whom It May Concern:
Dear Recipient:
I want to express my wholehearted recommendation for Dr. Sydney Ross-Davis. It was my pleasure to
work with her in my role as chief medical officer for one of the Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS) plans. The
plan was responsible for over 100,000 lives. Dr. Ross-Davis provided invaluabledirection and advice for
us to assess our abilities to provide MedicareAdvantage coverage. As a new line of business for the
plan, she reviewed all of our care management programs to include case management, disease
management, customer service intake, grievance and complaints as well as prior authorization. In her
consulting capacity, Dr. Ross-Davis was able to develop a work product of best practices to implement
in our Medicare Advantage program. Process workflows for each segment were broken down and
evaluated for compliance and efficiency. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and her expertise allowed
us to successfully administer the new line of business. She was easy to work with, readily available and
well-liked by all that had the pleasure of her interaction. She is a tremendous resource I do not hesitate
to recommend to you.
Sincerely,
Rodney H. Smith MD FACOG MBA
