Ancillary Healthcare Services
Strategically adapt for the future of healthcare
Significant opportunity continues to emerge to enhance and transform care delivery as healthcare organizations work to shift certain services to lower-cost, outpatient settings, adopt new technologies, and create alliances and partnerships across communities in the healthcare ecosystem — while staying compliant with ever-changing regulations.
Confidently navigate the rising operational, technology, compliance, transactional and economic disruption with guidance from our professionals — so your organization can focus on what matters most: serving your patients and delivering quality care.
Solutions to stay ahead of change
Explore how our healthcare-focused services can help your organization plan for what's next.
Drive strategic growth
With healthcare organizations facing margin pressures as pricing remains static but cost structures accelerate, it’s crucial your organization assesses how to boost revenue or consider additional organizational changes — especially as the industry evolves from a foundation built on volume to value and outcomes.
Assessments of your current operations can help provide insights into potential solutions for how to adapt and move forward intentionally — whether that involves adding or shedding services, changing payment methods, or more.
Prepare your organization for its next phase by identifying areas to be more efficient and effective, improve processes, and leverage advances in systems and technology with our strategy and integration consulting services.
Navigate transactions
Evaluate strategic alternatives, conduct thorough operational and financial due diligence, and confidently navigate the transaction process end to end — whether your organization is considering buying, selling, or affiliating or already entered preliminary discussions with another entity.
Develop a thorough understanding of your position and readiness for alignment, evaluate options, and assess the cultural and operational fit if you’re approaching due diligence — so you can make informed transaction decisions.
Strategically position your organization to take advantage of a transaction should opportunity arise even if one isn’t currently part of your short-term strategy.
Transaction support can include:
- Acquisition impact analysis
- Affiliation analysis and support, including strategic and partner-affiliate options
- Buy-side operational due diligence
- Sell-side alignment analysis and preparation
- Foundation development for hospitals and health systems or other corporations interested in physician employment and network development
- Full financial impact analysis, including independent, blinded analyses
- Merger operational and cultural fit assessments
- Turnaround assessments and assistance
- Regulatory landscape assessment to maintain compliance with emerging laws
Our industry-specific experience in private equity can help quickly identify issues and solutions to smoothly and efficiently close transactions.

Maintain compliance
Changes to federal and state regulations to address the ongoing transformation in how care is delivered make maintaining compliance for providers extraordinarily difficult — and bring significant risk such as fines, liability, potential loss of ability to comply with government reimbursement, and more.
Providers must navigate state and federal licensing laws when delivering care, mitigate anti-kickback statue, false claims, and Stark Law compliance risks, abide by HIPAA technology requirements, and ensure proper coding for state and federal reimbursement, among other priorities.
Establishing a compliance program — or enhancing an existing one — that supports your goals can help demonstrate how your organization meets or exceeds applicable legal requirements — protecting your investors, owners, employees, and patients in the process.
Develop key administrative infrastructure functions for effective and compliant recording of consent, documentation controls, coding, billing, and collections for digital healthcare services.
Guidance can include insight on how to structure and develop controls for your program, as well as to audit, monitor, and mentor your staff.
Key focus areas can include:
- Analysis of services, including consent process, operations, and key requirements for program delivery
- Assessment of revenue cycle management (RCM)
- Assistance with development of fee (CDM) schedules
- RCM workflow
- Provider enrollment
- Compliance officer mentoring and mentoring agreement reviews
- Coding documentation for accuracy assessment
- Policy and procedure development
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulation communications
We can help providers navigate healthcare compliance and internal audit.
Protect data and patients
Historic rises in healthcare record breaches make it crucial for healthcare organizations to implement and review their strategy to bolster and protect their IT, data, and cybersecurity.
As technology-enabled healthcare services are delivered, it’s imperative for providers to protect their data and prevent exposing patients’ sensitive private data.
Cyberattacks can prove damaging to both your financial operations and reputation, as well as put you at risk of not maintaining HIPAA compliance.
Develop strategies, identify controls, and certify your organization with our cybersecurity services and HITRUST CSF® certification. Test your cybersecurity to verify your current systems are protecting your data as well as your patients’ protected health information (PHI). Evaluate whether implementing a new system could provide enhanced support with a system and organization controls (SOC) attestation process.
