What SVC, Inc. does

Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA) is a privately held healthcare consulting firm founded more than 40 years ago and headquartered in Okemos, Michigan. The firm specializes in Medicaid, Medicare, and broader publicly funded healthcare consulting, serving state Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations, providers, health systems, behavioral health and LTSS organizations, federal/state/local government entities, community-based organizations, foundations, and healthcare investors. HMA delivers its services through six core practice areas — Actuarial & Financial Analytics, Communications & Engagement, Operations & Implementation, Policy & Regulatory Strategies, Quality Outcomes & Research, and Strategy & Transformation — and operates an extended HMA Family of Companies that includes Leavitt Partners, Wakely Consulting Group, Burns & Associates, 720 Strategies, Lovell Communications, State of Reform, Crestline Advisors, and The Moran Company.

The firm employs more than 700 healthcare consultants and maintains on-the-ground presence in all 50 U.S. states through 26+ office locations. HMA generates revenue through professional services engagements sold on a quote-based, project-by-project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing; it does not sell a proprietary software product, but does offer subscription-based information services (HMA Information Services) and registered branded practices including HMA Community Strategies and HMA Institute on Addiction. The company is privately held, management-controlled, and led by CEO Josh Trent with a formal growth organization led by Chief Growth Officer Matt Allen; the firm holds SOC2 Type 2 attestation, HIPAA Business Associate compliance, and demonstrated federal and state contracting credentials. Strategic positioning is anchored on deep regulatory expertise around Medicaid policy (including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Section 1115 waivers, state directed payments, managed care oversight, and redeterminations), a talent base of former Medicaid/CHIP directors and agency leaders, and a roll-up M&A strategy that has integrated multiple specialized subsidiaries.
