We work across four practice areas. Most engagements draw on more than one, because the hardest problems in health rarely sit in a single lane. A new rule changes what a product has to do. A data strategy only works if partners agree to it. A policy position needs a coalition behind it and a clear way to explain it.
Every engagement is scoped around the specific decision or challenge in front of you, and led by senior people who have done the work.

Where our practices meet
Many of the hardest problems in health sit between policy and technology. These offers draw on more than one practice:
Regulatory readiness for new markets. For health tech companies entering a new state or segment: the rules that apply, the data and integration requirements behind them, and a plan to meet both.
Prior authorization and payer API readiness. Federal prior authorization rules now tie compliance to FHIR-based APIs. We review your workflows, regulatory obligations, and technical roadmap together.
Coalitions with a voice. Coalition design, a shared policy agenda, and the communications to carry it to decision makers.
