Why Select R-C Healthcare Management as

Your Hospital's Medicare Wage Index Consultant?

Unparalleled Experience and Expertise

R-C Healthcare Management launched the Medicare wage index consulting industry in 1990.  Because we specialize in the Medicare wage index, our staff remains informed on all regulatory changes.  We continuously update our hospital clients regarding pertinent procedural revisions.  With an extensive wage index database, we're able to target specific hospitals, CBSAs or larger geographic areas when we find wage index data that appears to be out of standard.  We notify them of the findings and assist them in optimizing their data.

Our staff includes experienced CPAs, former hospital CFOs  and healthcare executives.  We fully understand the financial challenges faced by hospitals of all sizes throughout the country, especially with regard to the Medicare wage index.

Meaningful Results in an Efficient Time Frame

R-C Healthcare Management recently completed an extensive wage index review and improvement project for the Greater New York Hospital Association. During this project, we competed against several large, national accounting firms. Not only were our wage index experts able to complete this very substantial project within its extremely tight time frame, but our results far exceeded those of every one of the competitors. In fact, we increased the average hourly wages of the client hospitals by 2.7% versus the closest competitor’s increase of only 1%.

Because we've been reviewing wage indexes for so many years, we've developed a streamlined methodology that allows us to accomplish more in less time.  Our seasoned professionals know exactly where to look for potential problems and how to resolve them. They don’t go on “fishing expeditions” to look for areas needing correction; and they don’t train lower level personnel to perform the wage index review as do other firms. The Medicare wage index is far too complex to be handled by amateurs in the field.

We complete the on-site component of the wage index review within one-to-three days, depending upon the complexity of the hospital system and the availability of the data. Once we receive the necessary data, we require minimal involvement of the hospital staff (usually just clarifying information).  Our experts are well equipped to perform all investigative work.

Reasonable Fees

R-C Healthcare Management doesn’t need to charge excessive fees for its work. Our highly experienced and efficient wage index experts typically require less time to complete projects.  And less project time means more money saved by our clients.  Plus, we're a specialist firm.  We don't have the high overhead costs of the major accounting firms.
