Audit & Research Services
Independent healthcare access auditing, regulatory analysis, and decision-ready research tailored to your organization’s needs.
MFAG helps healthcare, legal, policy, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations investigate complex access and compliance questions. We combine structured data analysis, direct-source verification, regulatory research, and clear reporting to produce findings clients can confidently use.
SERVICE ONE
Provider Directory & Network Validation
Determine whether a published provider network reflects real-world access. MFAG can verify:
• Provider locations and contact information
• Employment and organizational affiliations
• Network participation and specialty information
• Duplicate, inactive, or outdated listings
• Apparent availability and appointment capacity
• Geographic access gaps and market-level patterns
Potential deliverables include a validated audit workbook, discrepancy log, market analysis, executive findings report, and prioritized recommendations.
SERVICE TWO
Compliance & Policy Audits
Assess whether policies, procedures, manuals, and reported practices align with governing requirements and organizational standards.
Our reviews may include regulatory crosswalks, policy comparisons, exception tracking, administrative-process analysis, and documented areas requiring clarification or corrective action.
SERVICE THREE
Regulatory & Legislative Research
Translate complex statutes, regulations, agency guidance, administrative policies, and proposed legislation into clear findings and practical options.
Deliverables may include research memoranda, regulatory summaries, legislative analyses, model policy language, issue briefs, and executive or stakeholder briefing materials.
SERVICE FOUR
Healthcare Access & Market Analysis
Identify geographic disparities, inactive provider listings, regional capacity concerns, administrative barriers, and patterns affecting real-world access to care.
Projects can be structured around a single market, multiple regions, a particular specialty, a beneficiary population, or a defined healthcare-access question.
SERVICE FIVE
Stakeholder Research & Briefing Support
Transform data, regulations, and stakeholder experiences into credible materials for organizational leaders, policymakers, attorneys, oversight bodies, and advocacy partners.
Available deliverables include executive summaries, policy briefs, evidence packets, stakeholder presentations, oversight materials, and decision-ready recommendations.
