McBee

What McBee does

McBee (legally McBee Associates, Inc.) is a US-based healthcare consulting and advisory firm founded in 1973 and headquartered in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with an additional office in Overland Park, Kansas. The firm delivers professional consulting services to healthcare providers across seven verticals: health systems and hospitals, home health, hospice, human services, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and physician practices. Its core service portfolio spans revenue cycle management, coding and clinical documentation improvement, clinical services, compliance, financial services, regulatory consulting, healthcare education and training, and strategic advisory including interim management and M&A support. McBee positions itself as a partnership-oriented consultancy combining client teams with its bench of 350+ subject matter experts who average more than 20 years of healthcare regulatory experience.

The firm's technology stack is anchored by AlphaCoding, an AI-assisted medical coding product launched in June 2026 that uses generative AI grounded in McBee's accumulated coding expertise to automate ICD-10 code generation from clinical documentation. The company also operates a content infrastructure — blog (369+ entries), webinars, a podcast, the Post-Acute Academy, and the INSIGHT2026 virtual conference — that functions as a thought-leadership demand-generation channel. McBee holds AICPA SOC certification and is governed under Maryland/US corporate law.

McBee operates as a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of Netsmart, a healthcare technology company, and is led by President Mike Dordick. The company generates revenue through custom consulting engagements with healthcare organizations across the care continuum on a professional-services billing basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm has completed bolt-on acquisitions (QIRT in 2020, Selman-Holman & Associates in 2021), maintains an active M&A advisory practice that supported 28 healthcare transactions in 2022, and has cumulatively served more than 3,800 providers since 1973.
