In healthcare, some liabilities follow the buyer.

Healthcare deals carry regulatory exposure that can survive the transaction and, in some cases, reach the investors who own the business. Billing practices that look like growth in the model can look like overbilling to a regulator. We test for both.

Illustrative. Figures invented. In a live engagement, the peer range is drawn from public utilization data.

What the module checks

01

Billing and coding outliers

Statistical outliers in billing and coding patterns compared with peers. These are the same patterns regulators start from.

02

Exclusion and licensure

Providers and staff checked against federal and state exclusion lists, and licensure status in every state of operation.

03

Payer mix and concentration

Dependence on a single payer, program, or reimbursement code, and exposure to announced rate changes.

04

Health-data compliance

HIPAA breach history in the federal breach portal, business associate agreements, and how patient data is handled in practice.

05

Integrations and dependencies

Reliance on EHR vendors and interoperability contracts, and whether those contracts survive a change of control.

06

Clinical and operational claims

Outcomes, volumes, and utilization figures in the CIM, tested against the underlying data.

What it gives your team
