A full healthcare finance practice

Operations, reimbursement, capital, Medicaid policy, quality, and the reports those decisions rest on. Each engagement is scoped as a model, a decision, or a filing.

01

Operating and financial analysis

Budgets that ignore census mix, overtime, and agency spend rarely hold through the first quarter. We build operating models from occupancy, payer, and labor, then reconcile them to the GL so leadership is working from the same numbers.

  • Census and payer-mix models
  • Labor and agency spend views
  • Service-line contribution
  • Monthly close packs for operators

02

Revenue cycle

We review the cycle as a conversion of authorized care into collected revenue. Typical work includes denial root-cause, payer-mix yield, contractual modeling, and a 90-day action list with owners.

  • Denial and write-off diagnostics
  • Payer yield and contract modeling
  • AR aging that matches operations
  • A 90-day cash action plan

03

Reimbursement strategy

From CAH status questions to SNF PDPM, FQHC PPS, and LTCH site-neutral rules, we model the payment path before a commitment is made. The output is a decision memo covering options, dollars, risk, and assumptions.

  • Program-election modeling
  • Rate and wage-index impact
  • Decision memos for boards
  • State Medicaid interaction

04

Capital advisory and restructuring

We advise on capital structure, debt placement, campus redevelopment, and operating turnarounds. Work includes sources-and-uses, covenant capacity, joint-venture economics, and a board memo that ties the project to cash and operations, not only to the architect's drawing.

  • Capital structure options
  • Debt and covenant capacity
  • Joint-venture and M&A support
  • Turnaround and growth plans

05

Medicaid policy and public finance

We advise state agencies and providers on Medicaid design, 1115 waivers, state plan amendments, capitation and rate setting, PACE and MLTSS, and intergovernmental and supplemental payment structures. The work is written so CMS, the budget office, and operations can use the same numbers.

  • Waiver and SPA support
  • Capitation and rate models
  • PACE and MLTSS design
  • IGT and supplemental payments

06

Quality reporting and compliance

Quality reporting becomes a finance problem when it threatens the annual payment update or the survey cycle. We map measure submission, data gaps, and staffing-star math to the operating plan and, where it matters, to the cost report.

  • QRP / APU risk review
  • Five-Star staffing walkthroughs
  • UDS and CHQR alignment
  • Survey-finance briefings

07

Multi-entity budgeting and debt

Multi-entity senior living and hospital systems often break down around management fees, related parties, restricted funds, and debt covenants. We build the consolidating view, the covenant forecast, and the package bondholders and boards use.

  • Consolidating budgets
  • Covenant and bondholder packs
  • Intercompany and related-party maps
  • Restricted-fund schedules

08

Medicare and Medicaid cost reporting

We prepare and review CMS cost reports for hospitals, SNFs, HHAs, hospices, FQHCs, and related entities. Work includes trial-balance mapping, statistics, related-party schedules, PS&R reconciliation, and a closing memo covering margin, APU risk, and next-year planning. The report is treated as one product among others, not the whole engagement.

  • Audit-ready workpapers
  • PS&R and settlement tie-out
  • Related-party and home-office schedules
  • Filing summary for the board

09

Contracted accounting

Fractional to full-time accounting support from CFO-level leadership and controllership through staff accounting and data entry. Flexible coverage when a provider needs capacity, continuity, or an interim finance team.

  • CFO-level and controller support
  • Staff accounting and data entry
  • Fractional or full-time coverage
  • Interim finance team capacity
