Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about how we work — compliance, revenue cycle, consultations, Acta, working with your counsel, and the engagement process.

General
What is Precisian Group?

Precisian Group is a post-acute care consulting firm specializing in compliance, revenue cycle management, data analytics, and regulatory strategy. We serve home health agencies, hospices, skilled nursing facilities, DME suppliers, behavioral health providers, and other post-acute and waiver-program operators — primarily in Texas and nationally.

Who does Precisian serve?

We work with a broad range of post-acute and community-based providers: home health agencies, hospices, skilled nursing facilities, DMEPOS suppliers, physician practices, FQHCs, behavioral health organizations, and Medicaid waiver programs (HCS/TxHmL). If you bill Medicare, Medicaid, or a managed care organization for post-acute services, we can help.

Is Precisian Texas-only?

No. While we have deep expertise in Texas Medicaid (STAR+PLUS, HHSC rule sets, MCO contracts), our federal compliance and revenue cycle work is national. We regularly engage with providers across the country on CMS regulatory matters, MAC audit response, and OIG risk management.

Working with your counsel
Are you a law firm?

No. Precisian is the expert layer between your operation and your counsel — expert consultants and licensed investigators (clinicians, a Texas PI, a CFE, RAC-CT) who build the record and the methodology challenge your attorneys argue from, and who can serve as testifying experts. We work alongside counsel, not in place of them.

Do you provide legal advice?

No. Nothing on this site or in our work is legal advice, and engaging Precisian does not create an attorney–client or other professional relationship. We build citation-grade evidence, conduct licensed investigations, and provide expert testimony; your counsel provides the legal strategy and advice.

Services
What does a compliance audit include?

A Precisian compliance audit is documentation-first. We review clinical records, coding, physician orders, and billing patterns against the specific LCD, NCD, or CMS transmittal that governs your service line. You receive a written findings report with citation-grade evidence, a risk classification for each finding, and a corrective action plan with clear ownership and deadlines.

What does revenue cycle management cover?

Our RCM work spans the full claim lifecycle: eligibility and authorization workflows, coding accuracy (OASIS, MDS, ICD-10), claim submission and scrubbing, denial management, and MAC audit response. We focus on the root causes of revenue leakage rather than one-time fixes — so improvements hold.

Consultations
What happens during the initial consultation?

The 30-minute Discovery Call is a focused conversation — no pitch deck, no sales script. We listen to your current situation, identify the highest-priority regulatory or revenue risks you're facing, and tell you plainly whether and how Precisian can help. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

How quickly can Precisian engage after the discovery call?

Most engagements begin within one to two weeks of the discovery call. For urgent matters — active audits, CIAs, or imminent survey citations — we can prioritize faster onboarding. Scope, timeline, and fees are agreed upon before any work begins.

Acta
What is Acta?

Acta is Precisian's AI review platform — the healthcare intelligence layer. It reads clinical documentation the way a contractor's analytics do, turning the raw record into citation-grade, audit-defensible evidence: every finding sourced to the regulation, the chart entry, and the verbatim quote. It's built for providers and the counsel who defend them who want to find the gaps before the payer does, and is currently in private preview.

Who is Acta designed for?

Acta is built for the teams whose work gets audited — compliance officers, clinical documentation and billing leaders, and the counsel who defend them — across skilled nursing, home health, hospice, hospitals, DME, and more. It's most valuable where documentation volume is high and the exposure from a single recurring pattern compounds across claims.

How does Acta differ from standard audit tools?

Most audit tools flag billing anomalies after the fact. Acta flags documentation gaps — the clinical-to-billing disconnects that fail under contractor review — and maps each one to the actual review criteria, so you see not just what's wrong but why it matters and what a defensible record looks like. No black box: every finding is sourced and exportable.

Industries
Does Precisian work with Texas Medicaid managed care providers?

Yes. We have specific expertise in STAR+PLUS MCO credentialing, HHSC rule compliance, WISeR system requirements, and the managed care contract terms that govern post-acute services in Texas. We work directly with providers navigating MCO audits, rate adjustments, and the DME procurement environment managed through HHSC.

What is STAR+PLUS and why does it matter for post-acute providers?

STAR+PLUS is Texas Medicaid's managed care program for individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled — and it is the primary payer for most home- and community-based post-acute services in Texas. Because STAR+PLUS routes Medicaid funds through managed care organizations (MCOs) rather than directly through HHSC, providers must maintain compliant credentialing, authorization, and documentation with each MCO they contract with. Changes to STAR+PLUS rules, MCO contract terms, or WISeR credentialing requirements directly affect reimbursement and market access for Texas providers.
