GME Financial Modeling
Develop customized financial models and proformas that align your GME strategy with sustainable funding opportunities. This allows your institution to forecast costs and revenue accurately, secure the resources needed to support both short-term and long-term program growth, and build a strong financial foundation for continued success.
Funding Optimization
Audit and validate your Medicare Cost Reports through coordinated financial and operational review to ensure all GME reimbursement claims are accurate, compliant, and fully optimized. This strengthens funding opportunities, improves cash flow, and minimizes audit risk.
Rural Designation
Evaluate the financial and strategic feasibility of pursuing a rural reclassification to unlock new GME funding opportunities while mitigating wage index reductions and other funding implications. This allows your institution to create sustainable reimbursement streams, expand program capacity, and realize substantial long-term financial gains.
GME Reimbursement Insights & Business Cases
Analyze Medicare GME reimbursement projections and comprehensive financial analyses using our proprietary database to support strategic evaluation. This allows institutions to inform hospital partnership discussions, strengthen negotiations with external stakeholders, and make confident decisions about GME program creation, expansion, or redistribution aligned with financial sustainability and institutional goals.
Medicare GME Affiliation Agreement
Facilitate the development and execution of Medicare GME Affiliation Agreements that allow hospitals to temporarily transfer IME and DGME caps to align funding with resident training locations. This enables your institution to maximize available Medicare reimbursement, expand clinical education across multiple sites, and strengthen collaboration between community hospitals and academic partners, ensuring resources effectively support medical education across the full continuum of training.
Revenue Modeling
Analyze and quantify the clinical revenue contributions of residents and fellows to accurately capture the financial value GME brings to your institution. This provides your organization with clear insight into often-overlooked revenue streams and demonstrates the measurable impact of training programs on system-wide financial performance.
