Company Profile
Health Management Associates, Inc.
Company Overview
HMA is an independent, national research and consulting firm with 15 offices nationwide. We are more than 130 consultants strong and still growing. We hire the best-of-the-best to keep doing what they do best – publicly financed health care.
Our colleagues are former senior officials from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of Management & Budget (OMB), state Medicaid directors, mental health commissioners, state budget officers, Cabinet-level health secretaries, and policy advisors to governors and other elected officials. Others are former CEO, COO, CFO and other hospital, health system and state-based health insurance exchange leaders. And rounding out our team are physicians and other clinicians who have run health centers and integrated systems of care – most who are still practicing medicine every week.
Our colleagues are among the most experienced, most knowledgeable and most innovative in the industry. We are out-of-the-box thinkers. We have worked our way up through the ranks to the most senior levels of the public and private health care industry. This unique perspective translates into an intimate understanding of how publicly financed health care works – and doesn’t.
We understand the challenges and constraints our clients face. We stay ahead of policy trends and changes, new initiatives, and business opportunities to keep our clients informed. We have the relationships which give us national reach. We live and work in the states where our careers unfolded, so we also have a uniquely local touch.
HMA is a flat organization, where client projects are staffed by high-level, in-house, multidisciplinary teams. We are not siloed by title, geography or subject matter, so our clients easily connect with the leading experts on most any topic on any given day. We are positioned to tackle the most complex client project or respond with a thoughtful answer to a quick question.
We are unwavering in our commitment to bring creative, yet practical solutions to our clients. We provide our best information, best analysis, best counsel and best possible results every time.
