In 2007 I started my first healthcare company. Since then, I have built several startups, helping hundreds of people and generating millions in revenue. These companies have thrived regardless of the economy and healthcare trends. I have navigated obtaining growth capitol, on-boarding and managed multi-site facilities. Today I am dedicated to helping providers succeed, in turn, helping their patients.
- De Novo Expansion- Nothing is more exciting, or at times, nerve-racking, than opening a new facility. I can tell you first hand, having someone to bounce ideas off and discuss the process with is priceless. I assist new programs in refining business strategy. I help identify missed opportunities for revenue. I aid in hiring key staff. I assess payor strategy. I review architectural planning and offer A to Z startup consulting.
- Acquisition Strategy- The addiction treatment field is the last area of healthcare that has not been consolidated. Today there is a huge infusion of capitol being invested in this space. Growth strategy presents a new series of pitfalls and obstacles, from branding to manpower. I can help assess options and assist at developing a winning strategy.
- Program Growth- 25 Million Americans struggle with substance use disorders. 1 in 5 Americans experience psychiatric issues. Only a fraction receive care. Healthcare and financial analysts predict services and reimbursement will continue to grow. Whatever your specific growth goals, I can identify effective means for getting there.
- Revenue Improvement- Reimbursement trends never rest and can create inconsistency in billing and collection. Many programs fail to bill for all services provided and miss revenue. From payor strategy to documentation training, I can assess the process from A to Z, and provide insight. Often times, minor alterations in procedures can make a significant improvement to the bottom line.
- Key Hires- Identifying key talent is an ongoing process for any growing healthcare provider. Identifying A.) Who you need and B.) Where to find them can be time consuming, I can help.
- Interim Management- I provide Interim CEO/Management services for companies and programs. These services are intended for programs with a vacancy or in a transitional period.
- Preparation for Sale- Preparing for a sale, finding a buyer, recapitalization, negotiations, due diligence and closing can seem daunting. I assist owners in identifying if selling is the right option, and can assist in creating a prospectus presentation.
- Operational Issues- Having been an addiction counselor for 18 years, I have worked in, and managed programs in many different settings. It is my belief that the clinical team of any program can make or break a company. Are you experiencing excessive turnover in staff, clinical difficulties, cohesion issues, difficulty with company culture? This is not a unique problem. Gaining outside insight can benefit everyone from the owners to the patients.
- In-Network vs. Out-Of-Network Strategy- Many providers are weighing the options of IN and OON options. Furthermore, what is right for one provider may be different from another. I can assist with weighing these options and isolating a solution.
