Our Services


Targeted advisory services built for the operational realities of mid-market healthcare.

Revenue Cycle Assessment

End-to-end review of your billing and collection operations, from patient registration through final payment posting. We identify root causes of claims denials, quantify revenue leakage, and benchmark your performance against peer organizations. Deliverables include a prioritized action plan with projected financial impact.

Operational Efficiency

Workflow optimization across clinical and administrative departments. We analyze staffing models, technology utilization, and process bottlenecks to reduce cost per encounter while maintaining care quality. Our recommendations are specific, measurable, and designed for organizations without unlimited capital budgets.

Strategic Planning

Market positioning, growth strategy, and M&A advisory for healthcare organizations navigating consolidation and value-based care transitions. We help leadership teams evaluate service line expansion, partnership opportunities, and payer-provider alignment strategies grounded in financial and operational data.

Compliance & Risk

Regulatory readiness assessments, audit preparation, and policy review for healthcare compliance programs. We evaluate your organization against current CMS requirements, OIG guidance, and state-specific regulations. Our team helps close gaps before they become audit findings or enforcement actions.

Insights


Perspectives on healthcare operations, revenue cycle management, and regulatory trends.

Revenue Cycle

Five Revenue Cycle Metrics Every CFO Should Track

Net collection rate and days in A/R only tell part of the story. We outline the five KPIs — including denial rate by payer category and cost to collect — that give healthcare CFOs a complete picture of revenue cycle health and early warning of emerging problems.

Claims Management

The Hidden Cost of Denied Claims in Mid-Market Health Systems

For a 200-bed community hospital, unresolved denials can represent $2–4 million in annual revenue leakage. We examine the root causes most commonly overlooked in mid-market organizations and the operational changes that yield the fastest recovery of lost revenue.

Regulatory

Preparing for the 2026 CMS Reimbursement Changes

Proposed changes to the Physician Fee Schedule and OPPS rates will disproportionately affect mid-market providers. We break down the key adjustments and outline the operational steps organizations should take now to protect margins and maintain compliance readiness.
