What makes us different?

LBMC has been one of the most recognized firms in Healthcare Services for over a decade. Key differentiators for LBMC include:

  • Accessibility – Engagement teams are there when needed.
  • VIP Treatment – Healthcare clients represent approximately one-third of our overall practice and are always considered a high priority.
  • Industry Knowledge – Our team members have significant experience in the healthcare industry from acute care hospitals and physician practices to behavioral and post-acute services. Our dedicated healthcare service team consists of over 200 professionals supported by over 300 others.
  • Strong Engagement – A hands-on, collaborative, and transparent approach that provides clients with ‘no surprises’ and other healthcare companies the opportunity to change with ‘eyes wide open.’  We meet with our clients often to build a relationship and ensure we understand the vision.
  • Involved Management – At LBMC, we do not have a “national office” that requires technical consultations on matters with individuals not involved in the project. Our resolution process ensures management has a “seat at the table”, explores a range of acceptable alternatives to get to the right answer, allows for timely resolution (hours and days, not weeks) and reflects confidence in our technical research.

Client Story: PhyMed Healthcare Group

My name is Chris Farley. I’m the VP of Integration for PhyMed Healthcare Group, a practice management company owned and managed, and led by physicians.

PhyMed Healthcare Group has worked together with LBMC on six to eight deals at this point, and it’s always with Lisa Nix and her team. She’s very easy to work with and very responsive to our needs. I totally trust her insight, as does the rest of the PhyMed team.

Our CFO, our deal team, assist development team of which I’m a part of, we rely very heavily on the information that the LBMC Transaction Advisory Services team provides. And we will typically try to tie it back from our finance team as well, but not to the level that LBMC does, and it always ties back together.

There is a very high degree of trust and confidence in the work that LBMC produces, and we use it for multi-million-dollar deal purchases. There’s a great deal of faith in LBMC.

Post-Acute Care Providers

As reimbursement challenges continue to rise amid the increasing financial constraints imposed by recurring cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, providers must develop new fiscally strong strategies to preserve and increase revenue. Regardless of the downward pressure on revenue, the patients need and must receive high quality care. Coordination of care among ambulatory, acute and post-acute care providers is critical. Effective strategies begin with managing care prior to an acute episode and collaborating with all providers and the patient throughout the continuum to ensure safe transition back into the community.

LBMC’s Post-Acute Care Consulting Team of experts assist with the coordination of care among ambulatory, acute and post-acute care (PAC) providers from an operational perspective. We work with providers to effectively respond to strategic, regulatory and reimbursement challenges as well as with hospitals to develop post-acute care network strategies and focus on more coordinated less-costly continuum of care. This strategy includes working with long term care facilities and home health & hospice providers.
