Part 1: The killer questions

1. Payor contract transferability?

The risk

In an asset sale, payor contracts (insurance reimbursement) often require consent to transfer. Missing a notice period can stop cash flow on Day 1.

Manual workflow

Associates manually type "consent" or "notice" into Excel for 500 contracts. Error rates are high.

Colabra workflow

Colabra's AI extraction pulls the "assignment" and "change of control" clauses from every payor contract. You get a structured list of which payors require affirmative consent, allowing you to prioritize the integration workflow.

2. Are the providers clean?

The risk

Employing a physician who is on the OIG exclusion list triggers massive fines and billing recoupments.

Manual workflow

Manually typing NPI numbers into federal databases.

Colabra workflow

Colabra's entity enrichment automatically screens extracted individual names and entities against sanctions, litigation, and adverse media databases. We verify that the medical staff and the practice entities are in good standing.

3. Is the compliance record complete?

The risk

A target may claim to be HIPAA compliant, but hidden audit findings or open corrective action plans (CAPs) suggest otherwise.

Manual workflow

Searching for "audit" keywords in a disorganized folder structure.

Colabra workflow

Colabra's compliance extraction ingests HIPAA and coding audit reports to pull out specific control failures and open remediation items. We ensure the compliance history is visible, not buried, so you know exactly what regulatory baggage you are inheriting.

Part 2: The war story

The $237M judgment

Case study: United States v. Tuomey Healthcare System

Tuomey Healthcare was found to have violated the Stark Law by paying physicians above fair market value to capture referrals. The government argued the contracts were disguised kickbacks. The result was a $237 million judgment.

Colabra fix

Our AI extraction would have benchmarked physician compensation against market data, identifying the "sweetheart deals" that triggered the violation.
