## About Health Services Advisory Group, Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Health Services Advisory Group, Inc. (HSAG) is a privately held healthcare quality improvement organization that provides external quality review, data analytics, and survey services to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health programs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (no disclosed funding rounds; appears bootstrapped or organically funded)
- **Headquarters**: Phoenix, Arizona, United States
- **Founded**: 1979
- **Founders**: A group of medical professionals (exact names not publicly listed)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare quality improvement / Healthcare advisory services
- **Target customers**: Government agencies (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), state Medicaid programs, hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, managed care organizations — primarily B2G and B2B within the healthcare ecosystem.
- **Mission statement**: “To be a positive force in health care by providing helpful information and quality expertise to those who deliver and those who receive health services.”

## Products & Services
- **QIN-QIO Services (Quality Innovation Network – Quality Improvement Organization)**: HSAG works under federal contracts to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, economy, and quality of services delivered to Medicare beneficiaries in Arizona and California.
- **EQRO Services (External Quality Review Organization)**: Conducts health plan-specific reviews of quality of care, timeliness, and access for Medicaid managed care, behavioral health, and prepaid inpatient health plans across multiple states.

- **Healthcare Policy & Quality Measurement (HPQM)**: Provides clinical and analytical expertise for quality measure development and healthcare policy evaluation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue — approximately $45 million (source: ZoomInfo, likely 2024-2025 estimate). Total headcount reported as 305 (ZoomInfo, -1.6% YoY) or 511 (Built In, possibly broader definition). Conflicting headcount data exists; the lower figure likely reflects core employees, while the higher may include contractors or broader workforce.
- **Notable Clients/Contracts**: CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) as a QIN-QIO for Arizona and California; EQRO contracts for 15+ states including Arizona, California, Colorado, and others.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep government expertise**: 40+ years of experience working directly with CMS and state Medicaid agencies, creating high barriers to entry for competitors.
- **Dual role as QIN-QIO and EQRO**: Few organizations hold both designations, giving HSAG a unique vantage point across Medicare and Medicaid quality improvement.
- **Established trust and track record**: Helped Laguna Honda Hospital & Rehabilitation Center (the second largest nursing home in the U.S.) regain nursing home certification after two years of guidance.
- **Multi-state footprint**: Provides services in 16 states, with physical offices in Arizona, Hawaii, Florida, and California.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding federal and state contracts**: Recent award of the QIN-QIO 13SOW contract signals continued investment in Medicare quality improvement.
- **Broadening service offerings**: Introduction of MIPS Attestation Assistance Services (January 2025) and expansion of audit capabilities for managed care organizations.
- **Data-driven quality improvement**: Emphasis on advanced analytics and informatics to support federal and state program goals.
