Critical Access Hospitals

At DZA we understand critical access hospitals.

Critical access hospitals (CAH) play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of their rural communities, keeping essential services in the area and improving access to healthcare. However, the reality of operating a CAH comes with a variety of challenges. DZA has a team of experts to help with those challenges whether needing assistance with reimbursement issues, outsourced accounting, auditing, or feasibility studies, we have the expert to help.

DZA Is Committed to the Critical Access Hospital Industry.

Since its inception, DZA has helped CAHs optimize their reimbursement, prepared timely and accurate cost reports, and provided assurance services to CAHs.

Currently, DZA works with around 100 critical access hospitals in 16 states. It is the core of our business and our team members stay up to date on both regional and national hospital issues through active participation in industry organizations (such as the Healthcare Financial Management Association), attending and presenting at conferences, and encouraging growth and learning through a rigorous Continuing Professional Education program.

DZA also hosts a three-day healthcare seminar designed to provide clients the opportunity to explore current reimbursement and accounting topics and other issues faced daily in the CAH industry.

DZA’s CAH specialists are ready to help you and your organization navigate the ever-changing world of healthcare. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation.
