Healthcare Audit & Accounting Services

At PYA, our healthcare auditors are precisely that – healthcare auditors.  With PYA you can be assured that your audit team has significant, relevant experience with healthcare providers like you.  Your PYA audit team will consist of individuals who spend virtually all of their professional time serving the healthcare industry – not manufacturing, retail or other industries. With PYA, your staff doesn’t have to train the auditors!

PYA provides audit and accounting services to healthcare entities ranging in size from small physician practices and ancillary providers to multi-state integrated healthcare organizations with assets in excess of $1.5 billion.  This experience across the spectrum of healthcare allows our healthcare auditors to quickly identify the financial reporting areas of greatest risk to your organization and to more efficiently and effectively perform audit or accounting services. Further, our healthcare audit teams are structured to allow our senior executives more time with our clients in order to provide the “hands on” experience and oversight.

The following is a partial listing of the types of audit and accounting services PYA offers our clients:

• Audits, reviews, and compilations of financial statements

As a firm focused on serving the healthcare industry (over 85% of our revenues are healthcare related), PYA has available the resources to supplement the extensive knowledge of our auditors through the use of our dedicated reimbursement, clinical and healthcare tax departments.  Our relationships with lending institutions, bond underwriters and rating agencies are such that PYA is a nationally recognized healthcare auditor in connection with debt issues.
