BerryDunn Elevates Services for Critical Access Hospitals Nationwide

PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BerryDunn, a full-service accounting, tax, and consulting firm, has elevated its broad range of professional services tailored to Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) across the country. The firm helps CAHs respond to today’s significant challenges, from funding uncertainties to rapidly evolving technology concerns such as cybersecurity, AI, and aging Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.

“Our depth of experience in this field goes back nearly 30 years to when BerryDunn began partnering with the very first hospital to earn Critical Access Hospital certification,” says Denny Roberge, Principal and Revenue Cycle Lead. “Today, as hospitals face mounting financial pressures, including recent cuts to Medicaid funding, we remain 100% committed to supporting the financial health of CAHs and preserving their indispensable role as safety nets in rural communities.”

A trusted partner to a growing number of CAHs around the country, BerryDunn collaborates closely with healthcare providers to understand their challenges from every angle. The firm’s breadth of specialized services for CAHs spans reimbursement consulting, revenue cycle support and optimization, compliance and credentialing services, technology consulting, financial statement audits, and other services to help CAHs minimize risk, maximize opportunities, and optimize their operations.

Many CAHs are coping with aging technology that leaves them vulnerable to a variety of business continuity risks. BerryDunn is experienced in helping clients assess cybersecurity vulnerabilities and better defend against data breaches and cyberattacks. The firm plays a key role in the evaluation and selection of new EHR systems, providing comprehensive implementation support and project management services.

“Our teams bring a high level of specialized knowledge to CAHs confronted by a wide range of tech-related issues,” says Dan Vogt, Principal and Healthcare Technology Consultant. “Clients struggling with outdated legacy EHR systems rely on our team to guide the transition to a new integrated, automated electronic system, enabling them to stay technologically viable.”

As CAHs face escalating financial uncertainties, BerryDunn teams focus on helping them do more with less. With an expanding geographic footprint and an ever-broadening range of services, BerryDunn is helping CAHs improve their financial stability, comply with evolving regulations, tighten cybersecurity protections, and facilitate positive outcomes for their patients.
