Lisa J. Barnett joined Petty, Michel and Associates in December 2015.

Her expertise lies in unwinding the details that bog down providers and staff, such as:

  • credentialing new providers
  • debugging complex insurance issues
  • insurance audits
  • customizing billing systems to improve collections,
  • practice appraisals, and more.

Her attention to detail is her greatest attribute, making the cumbersome task of credentialing a breeze for her clients.

Lisa has also expanded her services to include Practice Appraisals.

Before joining Petty, Michel, and Associates, Lisa worked for a large chiropractic group, gaining experience managing credentialing and licensing requirements, external marketing, continuing education, and keeping abreast of NCQA, Medicare, and documentation requirements.

Along with her experiences, Lisa holds certifications in Associate in Customer Service, Chiropractic Technician, and Green Belt Six Sigma Quality Assurance. She also carries a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from UW-Madison, which led her to complete over 500 hours in chiropractic nutrition. She enjoys reading to stay literate, growing plants, and living a sustainable lifestyle by eating paleo-friendly foods, getting chiropractic adjustments, and using high-grade essential botanical oils and botanical teas.

With over 30 years in chiropractic advocacy and with intrinsic value and integrity at her core, she is committed to helping you achieve and sustain a successful practice.

 Our Clients Speak


“Thank You For Being a Good Teacher!”

I really enjoy working with staff and office managers on various clinic operations such as assisting with clinic systems and procedures implementations, various billing and insurance topics, and front desk training.

It is very rewarding to get feedback, such as the note I recently received:

“Lisa,

Thank you for being a great teacher. Thank you for making me feel so good about how hard I work. I truly appreciate all you teach and tell me.  You make me feel better.”


“You Were There When You Were Needed and Helped Immensely”

“125 dates of service notes and associated claim forms were red flagged and audited by insurance.

The result of Lisa’s services:  Kept payment on all, and no recoups!  Thank you for your extremely important assistance in my practice.  You were there when you were needed and helped immensely.”

“I Give PM&A Two Thumbs Up and Recommend Them for Your Practice Needs.”

My name is Dr. Jerry Tyjeski and I am the owner of Tyjeski Family Chiropractic in Beaver Dam and Watertown, Wisconsin.

I am writing you to recommend Petty, Michel and Associates (PM&A). I am a witness to this company’s unbound knowledge, kindness, and recommendations to help my practices further succeed.

One area of expertise they came in with was helping us through a Medicare documentation audit. During the audit process, there was much paperwork and copying of records required, and Petty, Michel and Associates was right there through the process, conducting a thorough documentation review, sending a Report of Findings and follow-up reports, and providing recommendations to improve our documentation. They also helped us sort through and organize all the required documents Medicare was looking for in their review process.

When we were in the seedling stages of purchasing a practice in Watertown, PM&A walked us through the purchase process which resulted in a successful addition of that practice.

Lisa Barnett and Dave Michel support our profession relentlessly, and genuinely care about doctors and their businesses. They definitely are the “non-seminar” people who will visit your office, assess your business needs, offer their expertise recommendations, and help your practice build and maintain success.

I give PM&A two thumbs up and recommend them for your practice needs.

“We Cannot Thank PM&A Enough for Their Undeniable Expertise.”

We cannot thank PM&A enough for their undeniable expertise. When we were in need of their services, we contacted them on a weekend and got an immediate response back from Dave. They were there to assure us from the beginning that everything would be okay. When Lisa arrived to help us sort through the many tasks needed to complete our project, she provided peace and understanding. The support and knowledge was superior but greater than that, the calmness and understanding and insight was invaluable.

The information we learned during that project and what Dave and Lisa taught us, we use on a daily basis that makes our life so much more secure and enjoyable. There are not enough words in our vocabulary to say thank you for all you did for us as well as for all you continue to do.

“Beyond Grateful”

Drs. Kevin Jackson and Selina Sigafoose-Jackson


“PMA Proved to be a Huge Value and I am Thrilled…”

I was thrilled that PMA was offering an opportunity to look over Medicare documentation and procedures. Lisa was incredibly helpful and created huge value and peace of mind when she came face to face to my clinic and looked over everything. There are core competencies when it comes to dealing with Medicare and Petty Michel and Associates knows the process and what Medicare will be looking for if you get a notes request or an audit request.

PMA proved to be a huge value and I am thrilled they were able to help my clinic become compliant, which makes seeing Medicare and Medicaid patients more enjoyable and less worrisome. I give PMA two thumbs up.
