Zimmet Healthcare Services Group

What Zimmet Healthcare Services Group does

Zimmet Healthcare Services Group, LLC (ZHSG) is a privately held, founder-led consulting and technology firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Manalapan, New Jersey. The company serves skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and post-acute care operators across the United States, delivering Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement optimization, regulatory compliance consulting, and clinical workflow technology. ZHSG serves more than 2,500 post-acute providers directly, with affiliated entities (notably R²) extending reach to over 3,000 providers nationwide.

The core technology is the myzPAX (z-PAX) intra-operability platform, which provides single sign-on access to a suite of connected applications addressing specific SNF reimbursement and compliance workflows: PDPM-Connect (Medicare Part A optimization), CMI-Connect (Medicaid case-mix intelligence across all 36 PDPM-adjusted states), Rehab-Connect (therapy department EHR), Quality-CONNECT (Five-Star rating and Medicaid incentive optimization), Data-CONNECT (customizable dashboards), and Custom-CONNECT (DIY workflow management). Adjacent offerings include R² (remote MDS completion and outsourced case management), CORE Analytics (claims-based intelligence on Medicare UB-04 data, divested to Netsmart in August 2022 but retained within the Zimmet ecosystem), and an education business anchored by AAPACN RAC-CT certification workshops and an annual conference.

ZHSG generates revenue through professional services consulting, software subscriptions via the z-PAX portal, managed services through R², and fee-based education. The firm employs 11-50 people and combines direct enterprise sales, monthly webinars, RAC-CT workshops, an annual conference, and active participation at industry events (FHCA, AHCA/NCAL, AAPACN, NADONA, ACHCA, NARA, LTC100). Pricing is published for workshops ($800 member / $1,026 non-member / $970 AAPACN bundle) and custom-quoted for software and consulting. The company remains bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds or parent ownership.

Broad incumbents

• CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA): CLA is a major U.S. accounting and consulting firm with a dedicated healthcare practice that includes SNF and senior living reimbursement, compliance, and operational advisory. Comparable to Zimmet on the consulting side but operates at significantly larger scale across many industries.
• MatrixCare (ResMed): MatrixCare, owned by ResMed, provides EHR, billing, and analytics software for skilled nursing, senior living, and home health. Comparable as a technology platform serving Zimmet's same customer base; competes with z-PAX modules at the software level.
• Netsmart: Netsmart is a major post-acute and behavioral health technology provider that acquired Zimmet's CORE Analytics in August 2022. Direct competitor at the analytics layer of the SNF technology stack and now a former partner/integrator for Zimmet's data offering.
• PointClickCare: PointClickCare is the dominant cloud-based EHR and care coordination platform for SNFs and the broader post-acute continuum. Adjacent to Zimmet as core SNF software infrastructure; competes with Zimmet's Connect Suite (Rehab-Connect, CMI-Connect, Quality-Connect) at the EHR layer.
• Plante Moran: Plante Moran is a top-20 U.S. accounting and consulting firm with a dedicated senior services practice serving skilled nursing, assisted living, and continuing care retirement communities. Comparable to Zimmet as an SNF-focused consulting practice but embedded within a much broader professional services firm.
• Forvis (formerly BKD): Forvis is a top-10 U.S. accounting and advisory firm with a strong healthcare industry group serving skilled nursing, senior living, and hospitals. Comparable consulting footprint to Zimmet within the SNF space but as part of a much larger, diversified firm.

Direct peers

• McBee Associates: McBee Associates is a healthcare consulting and technology firm serving hospitals, health systems, and post-acute providers. Its reimbursement, clinical, and financial advisory services directly overlap with Zimmet's SNF consulting and analytics offerings.
• Richter Healthcare (now Valentiam): Richter/Valentiam provides business management and consulting services to post-acute care and senior living operators, including reimbursement, compliance, and operational consulting. Directly comparable to Zimmet's SNF-focused advisory offering.
• SimiTree: SimiTree is a professional services firm focused on the post-acute and behavioral health sectors, offering consulting, outsourced services (RCM, billing, coding), and technology. Directly comparable to Zimmet in serving SNFs/home health/hospice with a combined consulting + managed-services model.

Others

• AAPACN (American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing): AAPACN is the professional association that certifies RAC-CT credentials and hosts Zimmet's certification workshops. Comparable as an industry authority, partner, and demand-driver for Zimmet's education business; not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem participant.
