Everything in the ECO engagement, plus expanded audit coverage of areas that standard compliance programs typically leave unmonitored: facility safety, incident and grievance trend analysis, governance obligations, and deeper billing and clinical record verification.

Agencies begin with a preliminary inquiry, followed by a brief compliance questionnaire and a structured discovery call. This process allows us to assess fit, regulatory posture, and operational scale before engagement.
