Our people execute the work, not only advise on it.
Specialists
Managed care, credentialing, revenue and technology for healthcare.
Client in control
You keep ownership of your practice, your data and every decision.
01
Services
Everything between the exam room and the payment
Each service can be engaged on its own or as part of an ongoing management relationship.
01
Managed care & contracting
We review where you participate and what each plan pays, then build one contracting strategy around it.
Payer participation and fee schedule review
Negotiation briefs and payer outreach
Capitation and value-based arrangements
Carve-outs and contract terms that protect revenue
02
Credentialing & enrollment
One roster and one renewal calendar, so no physician bills under a lapsed credential.
Initial enrollments with commercial plans, Medicare Advantage and Vital
Revalidations, follow-up and payer status
Provider demographic and directory updates
Central provider roster and documents
03
Revenue cycle visibility
Clear sight of what was billed, what was paid and where money is lost, by physician, payer and service.
Billing and remittance reconciliation
Denials and underpayment follow-up
Management dashboards for leadership
Physician payment and distribution reports
04
Practice management
We run the administration of your practice under an ongoing agreement, so you can focus on patients.
Operating model, workflows and controls
Weekly and monthly financial close
Vendor, billing company and EMR coordination
Management scorecard and regular reviews
02
Technology
Technology built by people who know managed care
Most healthcare software is built by people who have never negotiated a contract or chased a denied claim. We have. We advise on, design and build technology around how managed care actually works, for providers, health plans and management organizations.
01
Contract & payment intelligence
Fee schedules compared against what each plan actually paid, so underpayments surface on their own.
02
Capitation & value-based analytics
Member panels, quality measures and shared-savings performance tracked against each contract's terms.
03
Revenue cycle data
Claims and remittances reconciled line by line, with denials grouped by cause and by payer.
04
Provider network & credentialing
Rosters, renewal calendars and directory data in one place, with alerts before anything lapses.
05
Care program measurement
Chronic-care and post-discharge programs measured on what matters to plans: adherence, follow-up and readmissions.
06
Data integration
EMR, billing, eligibility and claims data connected through FHIR and X12 standards, or the exports you already have.
How we engage
AdviseTechnology assessment: systems, data flows and manual work mapped into a prioritized roadmap.
BuildCustom applications, dashboards and automations, designed with your team and delivered in stages.
RunHosting, maintenance and support, so the tools keep working long after go-live.
Our principles
Start with one problem that costs you money, then grow from there.
Your data stays yours and can be exported in a standard format at any time.
Every tool is shaped by people who do managed care work every day.
03
Approach
We start from where you are, not from a template
Every engagement follows the same four steps, whether it is a single credentialing file or a full management partnership. The scope and the pace are set by what you need.
Step 01
Understand
We listen first: how you are contracted, credentialed, billed and run today, and what success looks like for you.
Step 02
Plan
A clear scope and priorities, sized to what you need, with one point of contact who answers for it.
Step 03
Execute
Our team does the work alongside yours and keeps you informed at every step.
Step 04
Review
We check results against the starting point we set together, and agree on what comes next.
04
Who we serve
Built for the way healthcare works in Puerto Rico
Commercial plans, Medicare Advantage and the Vital government plan each have their own rules. We work across all three.
Independent physicians
Solo and small practices that need their contracts, credentials and collections handled by people who answer the phone.
Specialty groups
Multi-physician groups that want visibility across physicians and payers, and a stronger position at the negotiating table.
Managed care organizations
Health plans, IPAs and management organizations that need technology built around how managed care really operates.
05
