Managed Care/Government Health Insurance Programs

Effective compliance with federal and state managed care mandates and guidance is essential in today’s highly scrutinized and regulated environment. In addition, healthcare reform legislation, such as the Affordable Care Act, has created many new regulatory risks, as well as new business opportunities, for managed care companies. FTI Consulting helps clients navigate this dynamic regulatory environment and provides services to develop, implement and manage effective compliance and operational programs to address these risks and opportunities.

To compete in such a competitive and highly regulated marketplace, we help managed care companies of all sizes and types effectively structure, administer and protect their business, reputation and standing. Our services address critical areas such as litigation, information technology, performance, reputation, transactions, governance and compliance, and risk management.
