What's Actually Included

Growth consulting from HRG covers two connected tracks: getting more of the right patients in the door, and making more money from the patients you already see.

Patient growth and marketing:

  • Patient demographic and service-area analysis to find where growth actually lives
  • A targeted outreach plan built around that analysis, not a generic ad spend
  • Employer-based patient growth strategy for practices that want a B2B referral channel
  • Population health programs that turn existing patients into more billable touchpoints

Revenue and margin improvement:

  • Key performance indicator review and a business performance report you can act on
  • Expense management analysis to find where profitability leaks out
  • Charge master analysis to catch underpriced or outdated codes
  • Chart review, coding, and compliance audit to protect revenue and reduce audit risk

Each track can run on its own, or together as one engagement built around your goals.

How Pricing Works

HRG's consulting engagements follow the same model as its billing and credentialing work. There is no flat retainer and no long-term contract.

  • Hours-based billing. You pay for consulting time actually used, not a fixed monthly fee regardless of scope.
  • One-page contract. No dense legal document, no hidden renewal clauses.
  • Month-to-month. You can scale hours up during a growth push or down during a quiet quarter.
  • Invoices shared before charging. You see the bill before it's final, every time.

Proof: A New Practice Reaches Full Revenue in 120 Days

A podiatrist in St. Louis left a larger group to start his own practice. He needed payer contracts, a working billing process, and financial stability fast, without the 4 to 6 month payer contracting timeline most new practices face.

HRG built a new CAQH profile, prioritized the payers worth chasing first, and designed a billing workflow with same-day chart sign-off. The practice reached 100% of its former revenue within 120 days, well ahead of the industry norm. Read the full case study for the complete breakdown.

Why Practices Choose HRG for Growth Consulting

  • 26+ years of experience across medical, surgical, podiatry, and specialty practices.
  • U.S.-based consultants who also run HRG's billing and credentialing work, so recommendations connect to what's operationally possible.
  • No long-term contracts. You keep the option to stop after any engagement.
  • Work happens inside your own systems. No separate dashboards, no new software to learn.

Medical Practice Growth Consulting, Questions Answered

What does medical practice growth consulting actually include?

HRG's growth consulting covers patient growth strategy, including demographic analysis and outreach planning, plus revenue and margin improvement, including KPI review, expense analysis, and coding audits. Engagements can focus on one track or combine both, depending on your goals.

How is growth consulting priced?

HRG bills growth consulting by the hour, with no minimum contract term and no long-term agreement. You see your invoice before it's finalized, and you can scale hours up or down as your needs change.

How long does a typical engagement take to show results?

Timelines depend on scope. The St. Louis podiatry practice reached full revenue recovery in 120 days, well under the typical 4 to 6 month payer contracting window. Most engagements show measurable movement within the first quarter.

Does growth consulting include help with new payer contracts?

Yes. HRG's growth consulting connects directly to its contracting team, so payer prioritization and contract negotiation can run alongside your growth plan instead of as a separate project.

Can growth consulting help a brand-new practice, not just an established one?

Yes. The St. Louis case study involved a podiatrist starting an independent practice from scratch. HRG built the credentialing, contracting, and billing workflow before day one of patient care.

Do we need to also use HRG for billing to get growth consulting?

No. Growth consulting can run as a standalone engagement. Many clients do combine it with HRG's billing or credentialing services since the same team already understands the practice's numbers.
