National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants

What National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants does

The National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants (NSCHBC) is a U.S. nonprofit professional society founded on July 1, 2006 and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. It was formed through the merger of three predecessor bodies — the Institute of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants, the National Association of Healthcare Consultants, and the Society of Medical Dental Management Consultants — and operates as the principal national association for independent healthcare business consultants serving physician and dental practices across accounting, finance, human resources, information technology, revenue cycle management, credentialing, and related disciplines.

The society's core products are non-technological: the CHBC (Certified Healthcare Business Consultant) credential, a public "Find a Consultant" member directory, a member listserv/referral network, an annual conference, webinars, a podcast, and an affiliated charitable foundation (FEHM). There is no proprietary software platform; the underlying technology stack is limited to a public website, member portal, webinar infrastructure, and standard association-management tooling. NSCHBC states its members collectively reach approximately 40,000–60,000 healthcare providers.

Revenue is generated through three streams: individual membership dues of $675–$700 per year, multi-tier corporate sponsorships (Silver at $3,500–$10,000, Gold at up to $15,000) sold primarily to healthcare vendors, and conference/event fees. Governance is board-led under President Chris Mahan, President-Elect Marci Charland, Secretary-Treasurer Adam Middleton, Executive Director Carol Wynne, and Associate Director Ashlyn Dixon, with no disclosed private-equity or venture-capital backing.
