Connective Health Strategies

What Connective Health Strategies does

Connective Health Strategies, LLC is a healthcare revenue cycle management and business intelligence firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Camden, USA, operating with 1-10 employees. The company serves medical practices, Managed Service Organizations (MSOs), digital health organizations, and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), with specialty-specific depth across cardiology, women's health, primary care, behavioral health, rural health, and orthopedics. Its core technology is the C-Suite Optimization Platform — a proprietary business intelligence system that integrates with EHR/RCM platforms (primarily athenaOne via DataView) to provide financial visibility, KPI analytics, and claims status monitoring. Within the platform, Connective Intelligence is an AI-driven recommendation engine that surfaces prioritized actions for RCM staff, built on what the company describes as 30 years of clinical administration and RCM domain experience.

The company monetizes through a combination of managed RCM services (credentialing, eligibility verification, billing, coding, payer follow-up, denials management) and a subscription-based SaaS platform, with custom quote-based pricing tied to practice size and service scope. Go-to-market is a hybrid of enterprise field sales, a free practice assessment as a freemium entry point, and a channel partner network spanning MSOs, BSOs, and EHR platform partners including athenahealth, Elation, AdvancedMD, Apero, HealthPact, Candid Health, Kovo, CardioOne, and Rev Health RCM. Connective positions itself as the technology layer that makes existing EHR systems perform optimally, targeting measurable HFMA-aligned KPIs including fewer than 100 days in accounts receivable, a 75% claim error inflow rate, +12% revenue realization within 60 days, and greater than 45% net collection rate. The firm has raised up to $1.25 million through a Regulation D securities offering (with $650,000 sold as of September 2024), remains privately held, and is led by founder and CEO David Tassoni.
