Pricing
Two ways to work with Quant Solvent, both with the scope and the price agreed before anything starts. Most healthcare data work is sold by the hour, which means you find out what it costs after it is finished. These do not work that way.
Why fixed fee. An hourly meter pays a consultant to be slow and pays you to hope they are not. A fixed price puts the delivery risk on us, which is where it belongs — we are the ones who know how long it takes. You get a number you can take to your CFO before the work begins.
RCM Data Healthcheck — $12,000
A fixed-fee diagnostic that turns your billing data into a prioritized recovery-and-automation roadmap — in under a month, for a known price. Two to three weeks, start to finish.
Who it is for: medical billing companies, RCM teams, and specialty practice groups sitting on EHR or clearinghouse exports — eClinicalWorks and the like — that they cannot operationalize. The data is already there. It is not doing anything.
What you get:
- A data assessment across your EHR, clearinghouse, and remittance exports — what is present, what is trustworthy, and what quietly is not.
- An accounts receivable and denial analysis: where the money actually is, by aging bucket, payer, and facility, and which denial categories are recurring rather than incidental.
- A prioritized recovery list — specific dollars, ranked by recoverability, not a percentage on a slide.
- An AI and automation opportunity map that separates what genuinely benefits from a model from what needs a parser and a rule.
- A costed 90-day roadmap you can execute with us, with someone else, or in-house.
Complex estimates involving many data sources are quoted individually, typically in the $8,000–$15,000 range. The deliverables above, for the agreed price — no hourly meter, no change orders.
The Healthcheck fee credits toward your first month if you continue into Managed AI Operations. The diagnostic is designed to earn the ongoing relationship, so you should not pay twice to start one.
Managed AI Operations — from $10,000/month
An embedded operator for your revenue cycle data platform. We run it, monitor it, and keep shipping against what you actually need this month — instead of a project that ends and a system nobody maintains.
What it covers:
- Operating and monitoring the data platform and its feeds, including the unglamorous part: noticing when an upstream export changes shape before it corrupts a month of reporting.
- Continuous delivery of new analytics, automations, and denial-prevention work against your priority requests.
- Keeping the compliance posture audit-ready — access logging, role-based access, and the controls a regulated business needs to survive a review.
- A natural-language interface over your own data where it fits the workflow.
Two tiers:
- Core — $10,000/month. Operate, monitor, and a defined delivery bandwidth for new work.
- Plus — $15,000/month. Everything in Core, with a larger delivery bandwidth and a faster turnaround commitment.
A scope boundary is agreed in writing up front — this is a managed service, not unlimited engineering — and anything beyond it is quoted as a separate fixed-fee project. Twelve-month term, billed monthly, thirty days' notice to end it.
What you are actually buying
One senior operator who has built and run a HIPAA-compliant revenue cycle command center in production — enterprise single sign-on, enforced multi-factor authentication, role-based access, a complete PHI audit trail — not a staffing firm's bench. The engagements above are priced on the assumption that this moves faster than a traditional shop, because it does. Read the case study.
Frequently asked questions
Why publish prices at all? Most consultancies do not.
Because your time is worth something and so is ours. If $12,000 is not the right order of magnitude for your problem, both of us would rather know that before a discovery call than after one. Published pricing is also a reasonable proxy for whether a firm knows what its own work costs.
What if my data is a mess?
That is the normal case and it is what the Healthcheck is for. Nightly EHR exports that get truncated and rebuilt, remittance files nobody parses, claim identities that do not survive a reload — none of that disqualifies you. It is usually the finding, not an obstacle to the finding.
Do I have to start with the Healthcheck?
No, but it is the usual path and normally the cheaper one. Going straight to a retainer means scoping ongoing work against data neither of us has examined yet, which tends to produce a worse first ninety days.
Do you sign a BAA?
Yes. No engagement touches protected health information before a business associate agreement is executed — that is a gate, not a formality. Any subprocessor that would handle PHI is identified and covered before it is introduced, and where a platform cannot be covered, the architecture changes rather than the standard. In healthcare that is table stakes, not a feature.
Do you work hourly at all?
For existing clients and for narrow, genuinely open-ended work, yes. For anything with a definable outcome, a fixed fee is better for both sides — you get price certainty and we get paid for the result rather than the clock.
