Kohler HealthCare Consulting is known for implementing what we recommend. We want you to have the options to use the tools you have in place and we can help verify they are being used to their highest capability. Or, we can help you select the tools you need. KHC is committed to your future successes.

KOHLER HealthCare Consulting, Inc. (KHC) has been a leader in improving the financial results of hospitals and professional fee practices for over 30 years.

We start by understanding your needs and your concerns. We then review the tools and process you currently have in place and determine if they are what you need to improve the financial outcome of your Revenue Cycle. We are not focused on selling software—we help you select the supporting software to meet your needs.

We can work on one department or the entire hospital. Our overall goal is to improve the function of your organization and provide monitoring tools to perform effective interventions resulting in improved results. We are there when you need us; however, our goal for your organization is self-sufficiency.

Because of our broad range of educational and operational experiences (operational, staffing, coding, billing and compliance), we are able to identify the links in each aspect of the Revenue Cycle. Through this framework, along with a continuous updating of the skills and knowledge required for optimal performance, KHC works collaboratively to bring the components together.

Customized education, development of purpose tools and implementation sets us apart from the companies that sell a one size fits all approach.
