Strategy without data is just an opinion, which is why we define Crux Strategies as a strategy firm powered by data and technology. We categorize our agency’s core strengths in four areas: bankruptcy & turnarounds, business analytics, healthcare compliance and government relations. While these competencies are not commonly offered at traditional consulting firms, they are the foundation of Crux Strategies. Proven by over five decades of experience, this tactical approach establishes our clients as meaningful and influential forces across both public and private sectors.
You built your healthcare practice or facility based upon the knowledge, expertise and hard work of your professionals and staff. Sustaining the financial viability of that practice requires access to actionable information that is often not readily available within the confines of your operations.

Crux Overwatch leverages our Aurum™ database, built on over 35 million actual claims from our clients, combined with current CMS reimbursement rates, commercially available
Crux Overwatch then compares these metrics with what your in-network contracts say you are supposed to be paid with what the payors actually pay you to allow for real time decision making and actions to sustain your practice or facility.
Once uploaded into our system, our staff will analyze and review your payor contracts to ensure
every detail is accurate and optimized for review and future actions. When complete, your contracts are
automatically summarized, reported, and seamlessly connected to your financial data within Contracts
Overwatch. The Contracts Overwatch system places all of the relevant information from your contracts
at your disposal for easy access, including contract rates and renewal dates.

The Contract Amendment screen allows users to review, analyze and propose amendments to payor
contracts by comparing current payments with fee schedules in order to determine actual realization rates under
existing contracts, funds owed by the payor to the provider where underpayments have occurred, and
calculate potential rate increases. This feature also allows us to generate verified third party reports to support your recovery of underpayments under existing and prior payor contracts.
