Our Expertise

Transform today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities

Healthcare payors, providers, and medical device and life sciences organizations are at a critical juncture, grappling with escalating costs, diminishing reimbursements, and evolving payment models. To thrive in this challenging landscape, many will need to reimagine operational and financial strategies to compete and drive sustained profitability. Reimagining the future of healthcare means having a partner who is an expert in the value-based models that are being developed — prioritizing cost optimization and strategic planning, changing how you attract and retain top talent, and focusing on technology and business analytics, risk, and regulatory compliance. Whether you’re a hospital, physician, senior living provider, payor, private equity group, or a life science and medical device organization, our experience can help your organization transform your business model and grow revenue.

Let us help you drive new value and innovate with our tax, audit, and consulting solutions. Our healthcare practice is a leading national financial and operational consulting practice, serving over 2,100 clients across the entire healthcare continuum.

You have complex needs and require a partner you can trust. We’ll be that partner.

Our passion is bringing strategies and ideas that allow these wonderful organizations to be financial sustainable so they can continue their vital work.”

 
Our clients say

Plante Moran has delivered above and beyond my expectations. Their staff is very skilled as well as personable, their audit process is efficient and very thorough, and their reimbursement specialists have identified significant opportunities for additional Medicare reimbursement for our hospitals. We’ve also benefited from financial benchmarking Plante Moran has provided us in relation to our peers. In addition, they are well-versed in big-picture healthcare industry trends and federal legislation. They keep our board and management team briefed in these important areas. Some of the larger firms we’ve used in the past tend to get bogged down in the details of the audit and don’t address bigger picture items. Plante Moran’s audit process is efficient, well-run, well-organized and very thorough. It’s much different than we’ve had before — in a good way.
