What HealthCare Compliance does

HealthCare Compliance Network, LLC is a privately held US-based firm that delivers healthcare regulatory compliance consulting and software to physician practices, healthcare organizations, private equity investors, and business associates. Its portfolio centers on four service pillars — HIPAA compliance, CMS-OIG compliance, OSHA/employee safety (including workplace violence prevention), and coding compliance/chart audits — all structured around the Seven Elements of an Effective Compliance Program framework codified by HHS-OIG. The firm pairs professional services with two proprietary web-based platforms: the Regulatory Compliance Management System (RCMS) for managing policies, documentation, and compliance workflows, and the Learning Compliance Management System (LCMS) for online training delivery, completion monitoring, and reporting.

The firm generates revenue through two streams: (1) professional services engagements — assessments, audits, policy and manual development, training delivery, breach response, and regulatory defense — and (2) recurring subscription access to RCMS and LCMS. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, channel referrals from IT vendors and EMR providers (Exscribe, MTBC, PhyTrust, Priority One, Strategic Healthcare Management), and event-driven demand generation through healthcare management associations (MGMA, HLA) and PE-focused conferences. Differentiated programs include Compliance as a Profit Center (CapC), which reframes compliance work as revenue discovery; the Co-Sourced Compliance Officer Partnership; Coding and Compliance Risk Assessment (CCRA); and pre-acquisition due diligence services tailored to healthcare-focused private equity transactions.

The business traces its origins to 1989 when Michael Manere began selling compliance services; Wiks Moffat assumed co-ownership in 1994. The current LLC entity was formed in 2016 when HCN, Inc. (founded 2013) was acquired by HCN, LLC. Todd McDonagh joined as Principal and CEO in 2015. Headquartered in Hudson, Massachusetts with 11–50 employees, the company operates exclusively in the United States, is founder-owned, and has not raised institutional capital.
