Engagements & Pricing

How we work together

Pricing is scoped to each engagement. We provide a written estimate and Statement of Work before any work begins — and a clear path from first diagnostic to ongoing operations.

Same day
Same-day Statement of Work. Tell us what you need and we turn around a written scope, estimate, and SOW the same business day — so you can decide and start fast, not wait a week for a proposal.

Fixed-Fee Diagnostics

Fixed fee, one week
  • RCM Data Healthcheck — where revenue is leaking and what to automate first
  • AI Readiness Assessment — which workflows pay back AI, and what it takes to ship
  • Findings + prioritized plan you keep, whoever builds it

Project Engagements

Time & materials or fixed scope
  • Builds, migrations, and automations under a written SOW
  • Production deployment is the finish line, not a slide deck
  • You own all work product on payment

Retainers & Operations

Monthly, quoted per engagement
  • Managed AI Operations — eval monitoring, prompt/model maintenance, accuracy you can audit
  • Platform Operations — pipeline reliability, cost management, monthly hour bank
  • Fractional Data & AI Lead — senior ownership without the full-time hire

Common questions

Healthcare data and AI, answered

The questions we field most often from billing companies, provider groups, and health-tech teams.

Can you use AI or an LLM with protected health information (PHI)?

Only on a platform covered by a signed Business Associate Agreement and configured to match it. Consumer ChatGPT has no BAA, so PHI is off-limits; enterprise offerings like Azure OpenAI are HIPAA-eligible, but the BAA alone does not make a deployment compliant — retention, logging, and training settings all have to line up. See using LLMs with PHI and our healthcare AI & LLM consulting.

What is denial management AI?

Software that reads remittance (835) data, categorizes denials by CARC/RARC code, traces each one to its root cause, and drafts appeals — so billing teams work the denials worth working instead of reading every one by hand. More on denial management AI and the codes that drain the most revenue.

How do you know if your payer contracts are underpaying you?

Benchmark each contracted rate as a percent of the Medicare allowable for the same code, locality, and year, then volume-weight across your actual case mix. That single ratio ranks payers best to worst and exposes underpayments against terms you already signed. See payer contract analytics.

How are engagements priced and how quickly can one start?

Three shapes: fixed-fee diagnostics that run about a week, project engagements on time-and-materials or fixed scope, and monthly retainers for ongoing operations. Describe the project and you get a written scope, estimate, and Statement of Work back the same business day.

Who do you work with?

Medical billing companies, provider groups and health systems, health-tech startups, and payer teams — organizations that need senior engineering on revenue cycle and healthcare data without hiring a full-time team. Work is hands-on: we write the code, run the migrations, and clients own all work product on payment.

Do you only work in healthcare?

Healthcare is the specialty, not the boundary. The same work — data warehouse migration, modern data stack builds, and AI advisory for executives — carries over to any organization with tangled data and a decision to make.

About

A senior engineer, on demand

Quant Solvent is a Tennessee-based software development and technical consulting practice led by Clayton Severson, Principal Consultant. We work where money, technology, and healthcare intersect — for billing companies, provider groups, health systems, health-tech startups, and payer teams that need experienced hands to design, build, and ship.

Work is hands-on and accountable: we write the code, run the migrations, and stand behind what we deliver. Clients own all work product on payment, and every engagement is governed by a clear Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work. More about how we work →

The name is a chemistry metaphor. A solvent separates a mixture into its components by phase and solubility, so each one can be isolated and measured. Quant Solvent does the quantitative version — dissolving tangled, messy data into clean, measurable structure, so the properties that actually matter become visible and usable.
