Whatever size the office, the smooth running of a medical practice requires the management of tremendous administrative, legal, financial and technological challenges. Prior to joining Hardesty, our healthcare leaders have run healthcare provider organizations or led clinical programs. For our medical practice clients, Hardesty Healthcare Solutions has developed business and marketing plans, identified necessary external resources and actually managed practices on an interim basis until issues have been stabilized. Specific examples have included: recruitment and retention of staff; implementation of electronic health record and billing software; payer contracting; coding analysis & pricing methodologies; assessing practice compliance; integrating corporate missions; establishing pay structures; fostering and mentoring administrative and clinical leaders; maximizing workload efficiency; improving provider and patient engagement; establishing quality standards and risk management.

With a reach that extends from L.A. to as far east as Boston and Atlanta, we have assisted emerging biotechnology companies in obtaining funding, consulting prior to market expansion and advisory panel recommendations. We have identified manufacturing sites and healthcare leaders that have run medical device manufacturing facilities both here and abroad. With the addition of Aloke Mandal, M.D., Ph. D. to our team, we have added a physician executive and clinical research component to our client offerings, including fractional and interim chief medical officer appointments, clinical funding grantsmanship, clinical trial organization, regulatory compliance, product testing feasibility and go-to-market strategies.

How and when to grow is key for any enterprise embarking on its expansion strategy. A multi-site medical operation needs a certain cadence to be successful. Similarly, after commercialization and funding, life science companies need to be aware of the necessary costs of bringing a product to market. Prior to an initial public offering, our technical accountants and advisors can ensure that the company is ready to jump through all of the executive, financial and regulatory hurdles of such an event, and the ongoing compliance. Most importantly, if the timing for increasing scale is not appropriate, we have a peerless reputation of providing sound and candid advice, even when that consultation cannot be monetized for our behalf.

Medical billing is getting increasingly more complicated. Risk-adjusted or health-based payment methodologies that have been the cornerstone for government-sponsored programs such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Managed Care Organizations increasingly are being adopted in commercial plans. Proper revenue cycle management ensures that billing errors are reduced so that reimbursements from the insurance companies are maximized. Hardesty Health Solutions can audit billing practices, implement the proper initiatives and information technology and identify the proper coding practices so that claims can be processed and practitioners are compensated for all services rendered.
