Don Self
CMCS, CPC, CEMCS, CASA — Founder & Principal Consultant
With more than 40 years of hands-on experience in Medicare billing, reimbursement, and compliance, Don Self has guided hundreds of healthcare practices through every major regulatory shift — from ICD-10 transitions to E/M code restructuring.
As the owner and operator of TeleCARE-USA, Don brings an active operator's perspective that most consultants simply can't match. His recommendations aren't theoretical — they come from someone who is actively deploying these strategies in real clinical environments.
DSA's approach is compliance-first: protecting revenue already earned while building defensible billing practices that withstand audit scrutiny. "You get Don — not a junior associate."

Active Operator
TeleCARE-USA: From Strategy to Execution
Unlike consultants who only advise, Don Self owns and operates TeleCARE-USA - a remote care services company deploying RPM, CCM, and RTM programs in real clinical environments.
This means every recommendation he makes to DSA members is tested against real-world constraints: staffing challenges, patient compliance, technology limitations, and regulatory requirements.
"An active operator's perspective - not a detached advisor's."
The Active Operator Advantage
AI-Supported. Not AI-Replaced.
DSA's member tools include AI-supported features designed to enhance accuracy and speed. But make no mistake - they're built to augment Don's 40+ years of expertise, not replace it.
