FOR PARTNERS

Develop and operate healthcare facilities with us

IHCS is a physician-led healthcare development and operations company. We take a facility from feasibility through licensing to open doors — and then run the operational, compliance and financial functions that keep it open.

Good medicine is not the hard part

Clinically excellent facilities fail with some regularity, and almost never for clinical reasons. They fail because a license lapsed, or the payer contract landed four months after opening, or nobody could staff nights, or billing quietly leaked a quarter of what it earned.

Those are specialist disciplines, and asking a clinical team to build them from scratch alongside practicing medicine is how good facilities get into trouble.

So we run them. All six functions below are in-house, applied to the facilities we operate — which means we are measured on the same numbers we would ask a partner to watch.

The CT suite at Fountain Hills Medical Center.

What we take on

Healthcare development

Feasibility, demand and payer-mix modeling, site selection, design and construction oversight. Including the willingness to conclude that a site does not work, which is the cheapest possible finding.

The page →
Compliance and licensing

State licensing, CMS certification, CLIA, radiologic and pharmacy registrations, and the continuing obligations afterwards. The phase that most often decides an opening date.

The page →
Operations management

Staffing models built from acuity rather than averages, standard work, throughput, transfer agreements, vendor management.

The page →
Billing and collections

Front-end eligibility discipline, coding accuracy, denial management by root cause, and patient-responsibility collection that does not damage a local reputation.

The page →
Accounting and financial management

Reporting, controls, payer reconciliation, and financial visibility that arrives in time to act on.

The page →
Human resources

Recruiting into a tight clinical market, credentialing timelines, retention, and the scheduling practices that determine whether people stay.

The page →

What we operate

Two 24/7 emergency rooms and two clinics across the Valley, run in-house.

How we think about this

What physician-led actually changes → The facility launch sequence → Fix the front end, not the collections team → Culture is what happens on the bad night → What makes an outpatient facility durable →
