MBK Health Care Services Division

Our Health Care Services Division offers a wide range of specialized consulting services and resources to medical and dental practices and other health care providers. These services extend well beyond the conventional accounting and tax services normally associated with CPA firms.

Our mission is to help clients position themselves to practice most profitably in the ever-changing health care environment and to help them realize their quality of practice and quality of life visions.

Our division has grown substantially over the past two decades as a result of dramatic changes in the health care industry. As a result of our forward-looking approach and our desire to help clients thrive, we have established the broadest array of consulting services to the health care industry of any CPA firm in the region. We are proud to note we are highly respected by the medical community.

Our specialized consulting services for the health care clients include but are not limited to:

• Revenue enhancement through improved coding, billing and accounts receivable management
• Fee schedule development and review
• Structuring buy-in and buy-out agreements
• Structuring physician compensation plans
• Negotiating practice purchases and sales
• Mergers, practice affiliations and start-ups
• Hospital and managed care contract review and negotiation
• Budgets, forecasts and projections
• Medical practice assessments and valuations
• Regulatory compliance (including Stark, Antitrust, fraud and abuse)
• Physician and staff recruitment and compensation plans
• Fringe benefits and retirement plans
• Practice cost analysis (including RVU and other methods)
• Feasibility studies (including new services and facilities)
• Facilitating practice retreats
• Financing start-ups and practice expansion

We have advised more than 500 physicians, dentists and other health care professionals on virtually every financial and operational aspect of their business. We have also cultivated a network of other health care advisors who specialize in physician coding, information technology, compliance and other practice management areas. This enables us to bring to the table the best specialists to help our clients to select and streamline information technology systems, to meet compliance rules and capture more revenue.

We share our ideas with our health care clients through newsletters, published articles, client alerts and other resources. We want to keep our clients informed on regulatory, tax and practice management developments. This site includes some of these resources for your interest and benefit.

Our tax department staff are dedicated to tax issues that affect closely held businesses and their owners, particularly those in the health care industry. In addition to providing a full range of tax compliance services, tax department personnel implement tax strategies for mergers, acquisitions, entity selection, buy-sell agreements, partner redemptions, qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation programs, and estate planning.

We believe keeping clients informed of all new relevant tax developments is critical to their success. While we strive to help our clients minimize their tax liability, we also enjoy an excellent reputation with the Internal Revenue Service and the Massachusetts and Connecticut departments of revenue.

We believe we can make a significant contribution to the future growth and success of your practice. Ask our current clients how we helped them. We will be happy to provide you with references.

We look forward to meeting your needs as a new Meyers Brothers Kalicka client and attending to your fiscal health.

Call Jim Calnan or Lisa Patenaude and we will meet with you to discuss your needs and how we can help you achieve your goals.
