The Healthcare Practice creates value for our clients by applying Carmen Group’s Proven Process to achieve superior client results. Our healthcare experts work with client goals and utilize our in-depth knowledge of federal health care programs, regulatory structures, and legislation to develop a unique Strategic Plan. Integral to the plan are insights on strategic opportunities in the healthcare field given regulatory trends and legislative initiatives. Our goal is Return On Investment for the client.

We implement a mutually agreed upon Tactical Plan recognizing the Congressional timelines, Administration budget development deadlines, and regulatory processes. The Execution stage focuses the client’s unique strengths and capabilities to demonstrate the need for Congressional or Administration action. The client’s time is valuable, and the Carmen Group’s years of experience with the House Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Senate Finance, and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committees, Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Management and Budget, and White House enables us to mobilize action to the most appropriate and effective decision-makers.

In the Delivery Stage, we ensure our client’s goal is in the right place to accomplish the win, drawing on resources throughout the firm to engage the highest levels in Congress and the Administration. All the groundwork established during the plan is intensified to ensure the amendment is adopted, the provision is included, or the regulation is issued correctly.

Finally, we follow through to make certain legislative changes are implemented, regulations issued, or awards transferred to accomplish client satisfaction. The final day of the Congressional session is not the final day of work for the client, but rather the opportunity to create effective future client positioning, and explore avenues to achieve client goals.
