Walker-Phillips Healthcare Consulting has assembled a team of healthcare professionals who have experience with nursing homes, assisted living facilities, residential care homes, and other senior housing providers. Our firm understands the full range of your challenges and provides a wide range of reimbursement and consulting services to assist you.
Some of the services we provide to the long-term care industry include:
LONG-TERM MEDICARE & MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENT
The long-term care industry is a dynamic environment, creating significant challenges for providers of long-term care services. With the continuous changes in legislation, successfully preparing Medicare and Medicaid cost reports is extraordinarily difficult. Our team of experienced reimbursement professionals is heavily involved with state and federal agencies in the preparation of Medicaid and Medicare cost reports.
Since our firm prepares more Medicare and Medicaid long-term care cost reports in the Commonwealth of Virginia than anyone else, we have built a database of key comparators from our clients. Our clients not only receive a cost report that is prepared to appropriately optimize their reimbursement but also a management report commenting on specific reimbursement opportunities and comparing your facility with other comparable facilities.
LONG-TERM ACCOUNTING SERVICES
Our firm currently prepares and files the majority of the Virginia Health Information (VHI) nursing home filings in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our team also prepares and files in the REDCap software a large number of Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) Wage Surveys. Given our experience and the large volume we prepare annually, we can prepare these filings accurately and in a manner that limits the time needed by your team.
Our firm has professionals who have worked in long-term care facilities and are familiar with nursing facility Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial billing. Our staff can assist in Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial billing services, including the actual transmission of client billings.
NURSING FACILITY SALES AND ACQUISITIONS
Walker-Phillips Healthcare Consulting assists our clients with the purchase and sale of their facilities. Representing our clients in this manner is a job we take very seriously.

Our team has successfully assisted many clients in completing the complex Certificate of Public Need (COPN) process in Virginia. We have helped our clients obtain new beds and move beds to and from facilities to enlarge or create new facilities.

HOME HEALTH CARE AND HOSPICE MEDICARE COST REPORT PREPARATION
Home Health Care and Hospice Medicare cost reports are due five (5) months after the end of the provider’s fiscal year-end. Our team will ensure your Medicare cost reports are filed accurately, timely, and in a manner that minimizes your team’s involvement in this process. Once your Medicare cost reports are e-filed, our team will provide you with an e-file confirmation for your records.
