Healthcare Management based in Grand Junction celebrates its 30th year in business in 2022.

“Rural hospitals around the country are closing at an alarming rate. But organizations in Colorado and Moab, Utah, have managed to innovate and develop solutions to ensure the best of health care in their communities,” said Angelina Salazar, chief executive officer of Healthcare Management. “HCM is a wonderful example of our hospitals and health care providers collaborating to improve rural health care.”

Twelve health care providers and members of the Western Healthcare Alliance purchased A-1 Collection Agency to form Healthcare Management, the parent company for A-1 Collection and AR Services. 

Now owned by 21 health care providers, Healthcare Management provides billing and collection services for hospitals, health care systems, physician groups and skilled nursing facilities.

Over the years, Healthcare Management has grown into an operation providing a range of business, billing, collection and legal services to a total of more than 3,400 clients. The staff has grown from a handful of employees who shared an office to 78 employees who work in a 73,000-square-foot building.

“It’s a privilege for HCM to support rural health care by providing valuable revenue cycle services,” said Bill Raimer, chief financial officer. “We look forward to serving our members and clients and their patients and communities for another 30 years.”
