Joyce Scott, Relations Manager at Dun & Bradstreet stated, "Recently, unprecedented economic change has contributed to a shift in the pattern of business failures – most notably, an increase in the failure rate of large businesses. In response, we have enhanced the D&B Financial Stress Score, our most powerful predictor of business deterioration." This enhancement has raised Dun & Bradstreet's already stringent standards and made it more challenging for businesses to rank well.

In spite of the current economic downturn and Dun and Bradstreet's higher standards, BHG earned a near perfect score of 99 out of 100. This indicates that only 1% of companies in the financial sector nationally earned a rating as high as or better than Bankers Healthcare Group. According to Dun & Bradstreet's Financial Stress Score (their most emphasized and enhanced predictive analysis) BHG received a class 1 score. Essentially, this means that BHG's failure rate according to D&B is 3 per 10,000. Considering the average business in Dun & Bradstreet's data base is rated 48 per 10,000, BHG has a lot to be proud of. This acknowledgement of excellence and financial solvency further reinforces BHG's dominating post in the financial sector.

Albert Crawford, CEO of Bankers Healthcare Group added, "Credibility and overall financial health are extremely important to our company and clients. Striving for absolute excellence in everything we do is top-of-mind for each and every member of our staff. Achieving a phenomenal rating from Dun & Bradstreet is a goal we strive for each year. This was a terrific team effort."

On track, once again, to deliver double digit growth for the 8th straight year, BHG reigns as the country's leading financer of Healthcare providers.
