Adria Gross, CEO and founder of MedWise Insurance Advocacy and MedWise Billing, Inc., helps clients reduce medical bills, avoid overcharges and negotiates bills down to a reasonable amount. She has over 25 years of experience in the insurance business, working extensively with the medical community and numerous insurance companies, and is an expert in spotting medical billing overcharges and negotiating bills down to reasonable amounts.

Providing a unique service to overcharged and overbilled consumers, Ms. Gross has recovered millions of dollars for her clients over the years.
Physical or mental handicaps can make one seem apparently different from others and lead to being excluded or included with an inferior status. Apparently DIFFERENT, written by over a score of authors who know this situation intimately, will make its readers realize the importance of treating all of us as precious human beings.
As Eileen Goudge, New York Times best-selling author, puts it: “One of our life’s greatest mysteries is how to be accepted. It is a case which has yet to be solved. The clues left behind in Apparently DIFFERENT give us a glimpse of the world many of us never experience. May you fall in love with their bravery and embrace them with all your heart.”
The book’s authors—Adria Goldman Gross, FIPC, and Douglas Winslow Cooper, PhD—begin, “We dedicate this empathetically to all those who cope with being perceived negatively as being different. You deserve understanding, acceptance, and compassion; we hope this book contributes to your obtaining all these.”
The authors summarize their goals for this book:
“Apparently DIFFERENT has been published to request people to accept relationships with others with challenging conditions. We all deserve respect and admiration. When reading Apparently DIFFERENT, imagine yourself living with their life experiences.”
Ms. Gross is an active member of many professional organizations including the American Medical Billing Association, Alliance of Claims Assistance Professionals, and American Academy of Professional Coders.
She also serves on the board of Insurance Professionals of Orange County (New York).
She holds degrees from Lasell College and Lesley University,

An active member of her community, Ms. Gross is also a graduate of Leadership Orange, a training program designed to help Orange County, New York residents become leaders and advocates for businesses and residents in their communities.
