Recently, COCSA began working with Army OneSource (AOS) to develop a program supporting our recently deployed troops and their dependents called Helping Hands for Heroes.

Many physicians like to offer these discounts as an incentive for immediate payment so the physician may avoid the administrative and financial costs of carrying an outstanding account.
