Why Choose HCRA Consulting Group

Strategic, regulatory, and operational support for agencies that cannot afford guesswork.

HCRA Consulting Group partners with home health, hospice, DME, mobile clinic, and behavioral health providers that need more than generic consulting. We combine regulatory depth, operational experience, and precise execution to help agencies license, grow, defend, and protect their organizations in a highly regulated environment.

Who We Are

HCRA Consulting Group is a healthcare consulting firm focused on compliance, licensing, accreditation, and regulatory defense. We specialize in organizations that bill Medicare and Medicaid and operate under complex state and federal oversight.

What Sets HCRA Apart

Regulatory Depth
We navigate CMS Conditions of Participation, state health codes, accreditation standards, and payer-specific requirements daily. Our work is grounded in how regulators think—not just how policies are written.

Hands-On Execution
We do the actual work: drafting policies, assembling packets, writing responses, designing CAPs, building templates, and guiding your team step by step. You do not get “advice only” and then get left with homework.

Complex Case Experience
Many clients come to HCRA when there is already a problem: revocations, recoupments, SIU investigations, TPE Round 3, CHOW disputes, survey deficiencies, or stalled licensing. We are accustomed to operating under pressure and time constraints.

How We Work With You

  • Assess – We review your current status: licensing, survey history, documentation, denial patterns, and operational gaps.

  • Strategize – We design a realistic plan aligned with regulatory expectations and your operational reality.

  • Implement – We help execute: forms, policies, corrective actions, staff training, and communication with agencies or payers.

  • Sustain – Where needed, we stay involved with ongoing QA, audits, and support.
