A great example of how a Fractional CFO can support a small - medium-sized business. Our clients, typically have 10-250 employees, often the Owner has someone doing accounting for them, but not a financial advisor in the business who understands the strategy and help improve the financial health of the business.

Medicare is confusing at best. State Health Insurance Assistance Programs exist throughout every state but they go by different names so it can be -- you guessed it -- confusing. In Michigan, the program is called the Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program. The story I wrote below demonstrates why it is so important to get free, unbiased assistance every year to ensure your coverages will be best for you. There's too much at stake to leave it to chance. Need help finding your program? Go to www.shiphelp.org to find your SHIP. #shiphelp

Wisconsin - home to leading healthcare software companies. Wisconsin Based Epic continues to widen its EHR market share lead as reported by Becker's (based upon the May 17 2024 KLAS report) earlier this year. Percentage of hospitals 1. Epic: 39.1% 2. Oracle Health: 23.4% 3. Meditech: 16% Percentage of beds 1. Epic: 51.5% 2. Oracle Health: 23.8% 3. Meditech: 13.4% What's not reported in KLAS is that a similar trend is taking place within IV QMS. An interesting twist; In the IV QMS market, #1 (Pharmacy Stars) and #2 (Pharmacy OneSource) are both based in Wisconsin. Health systems employing Pharmacy Stars' Compounding360 for compounding training and compliance, reported serving more than 70,000,000 patients combined in 2023. Based upon current momentum, Pharmacy Stars expects to surpass 100,000,000 patients served by its customers in 2026. #wisconsin #pharmacystars #compoundingsoftware #compoundingcompliance #compounding360 #IVQMS #USP797

Zero-balance projects are a great passion of mine. Often, accounts that are closed out to zero still have some payable dollars attached to them. This type of project is low-risk but offers high rewards, making it an excellent opportunity to increase cash flow for your organization. #ZeroBalance #RevenueCycleManagment Titan Health Management Solutions
