• CCG can obtain and interpret cardiac diagnostics for cardiology practices and managed care organizations.
  

• These include Independent Physician Associations [IPA] and Physician Hospital Organizations [PHO].

• CCG has provided these diagnostics in the past and has serviced a large Chicago-area community hospital as well as a large PHO with over 20,000 members and 20 physicians.

• Traditionally small and medium scale cardiology practices lack the ability to make large capital expenditures on medical equipment.

• These equipments typically have large capital outlays and short life cycles, leading to quick obsolescence.

• Such practices would rather conserve capital in order to reduce the “hard asset buy-in” prior to partnership. CCG can work with such enterprises to help keep up with technology and not tie down working capital at the same time.

• CCG evaluates the needs of such practices

• It identifies makes a decision on lease/buy for the relevant equipment, and then buys/leases it.

• CCG then further subleases the equipment to the practice in concern. The customers therefore pay these leases as operating expenses rather than as capital asset expenditure.

Gradually expanding its business portfolio from diagnostics to consulting, CCG has also now developed a module of products that optimize contracts and compensation schemes for medical practices.

Partnership arrangements and compensation schedules are often contentious issues that result in frequent dissolution of medical group practices.

• Working with attorneys specializing in private medical practices from 2001 to 2003, CCG helped construct a suite of linked processes consisting of a

• Shareholder Agreement
• an Employment Agreement,
• Company Bylaws and a Compensation Schedule that worked in unison

• These solutions are all adaptable to the individual needs of a particular practice.

• Other customized solutions for the health-care space include a advanced simulation that caters for such variables as partnership interest, shares owned, productivity, salary drawn, dividends for equity held and partners contribution to operating capital.
