Scale your healthcare practice 60% without adding U.S. headcount
The U.S. healthcare RCM market is a $172 billion industry – and 60% of it is already outsourced. Our teams arrive trained on healthcare's regulatory landscape before day one.
Healthcare clients are the hardest to staff for. And the costliest to lose.
87% of CFOs report a consistent accounting talent deficit, and the U.S. accountant workforce shrank 10% since 2019. Meanwhile, 90% of medical groups report rising operating costs with labor consuming 84% of expenses.
Can't Find Healthcare Accountants
56% of CPA firms now outsource to fill the gap. U.S. specialists with HIPAA training, medical billing skills, and payer reconciliation experience command $85K+ salaries – when you can find them at all.
Partner Time Trapped in Review
Accounting turnover averages 15–22% annually, spiking 40–60% post-busy-season. A 50-person firm loses $400–600K/year in replacement costs. Partners stay buried in QC loops instead of advisory.
Compliance Risk with Generic Offshore
The average healthcare data breach costs $9.77 million – $408 per record. In 2024, 725 large breaches were reported, and 55% of HIPAA penalties hit small practices.
Turning Away Healthcare Clients
72% of small hospital CFOs see outsourcing as their top strategy. 93% of larger hospitals plan to supplement with it. The demand is massive – but without capacity, you're declining work.

We'll TrainHealthcare expertise built into every layer
We don't rotate generic accountants into your healthcare engagements. Here's how we train and how we protect.

Custom Healthcare SOPs
Every engagement gets healthcare-tuned workflows for data handling, PHI protection, and industry-specific reconciliation logic.

U.S. healthcare hire vs. Accountably
90% of medical groups report rising costs, with labor at 84% of expenses. A U.S. healthcare accountant costs $100–130K fully loaded. Here's the comparison:
| Feature | U.S. Healthcare Hire | Accountably |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Cost per Staff | $100–130K (loaded) | $28–36K |
| Healthcare-Specific Training | 3–6 months ramp-up | Pre-trained, 3 weeks |
| HIPAA-Aware Protocols | Varies by hire | Built into delivery |
| Multi-Layer QC | Partner review only | 4-tier QC before you see it |
| Backup Coverage | None | Always-on backup |
| Seasonal Scaling | Hire/fire cycle | Scale up or down in days |
| Annual Savings (per staff) | – | $65–95K+ |
A 3-person healthcare team = $195–285K+ in annual savings. That's capacity freed for advisory, not overhead.
Real results from healthcare-focused firms
MedBridge CPA Group scales healthcare practice by 60%
Serving 35+ healthcare clients across Texas and Oklahoma, MedBridge was turning away hospital system clients during audit season. Within 6 months of partnering with Accountably, they expanded capacity while cutting delivery costs.
"Our biggest fear was data sensitivity with healthcare clients. Accountably's HIPAA-aware protocols gave us the confidence to move forward. Six months in, not a single compliance issue."
What healthcare-focused firms say
From physician practices to hospital systems – firms trust us with their most sensitive clients.
"We handle 40+ physician groups. Accountably's team understands medical billing reconciliation better than our previous two offshore providers combined."
Michael Torres, CPA

Jennifer Park
Director of Operations, Westfield Health CPA

Healthcare-specific questions
Common questions from firms serving healthcare clients.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance for offshore work?
With healthcare breaches averaging $9.77 million and 725 reported in 2024, we take this seriously. All team members are trained on PHI handling. We use encrypted environments with zero local storage, role-based access, and Business Associate Agreements.
Do your teams understand medical billing and revenue cycle?
Yes. With denials at 11.8% and 86% avoidable, accuracy is critical. Our healthcare-track accountants train specifically on billing reconciliation, payer adjustments, denial management, and receivables tracking.
Can you handle multi-entity healthcare organizations?
Absolutely. We support hospital systems with multiple physician groups, clinics, and ancillary services – each with separate books. Our teams handle eliminations, consolidated reporting, and department-level P&L.
What about Medicare and Medicaid cost reporting?
With a 7.38% Medicare improper payment rate, cost report accuracy is non-negotiable. We handle assembly, schedule prep, and documentation. Final review stays with your U.S. team.
What if I've had a bad offshore experience before?
Most bad experiences come from generic staff with no healthcare training. Our 30-day pilot guarantee lets you test risk-free – full refund if quality, compliance, or communication doesn't meet your standards.
What healthcare software do you work with?
We train on whatever your clients use – Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, AdvancedMD, and more. On the accounting side: QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and all major tax platforms.
