Post-Close Integration and Value Creation

Deals are won in diligence and lost in months four through nine. This is the work that decides which.

Overview

The signing is the start of the risk, not the end of it. Clinical workflows have to be aligned without breaking the care model, providers have to be retained through the change, and the margin case has to show up in the operating data rather than in the model.

Aluria builds and runs the 100-day plan, then stays through the period when integration fatigue and provider attrition usually appear. Where a platform is underperforming, the same work becomes stabilization and turnaround.

This is the practice built on more than 100 post-acquisition integrations across a platform that scaled to 300+ centers in 37 states, with 98% provider retention through two ownership changes.

What This Involves

100-day plan. Sequenced workstreams with named owners, dates, and the operating metrics that show whether each one is landing.
Clinical workflow alignment. Documentation, supervision, and care standards brought onto the platform without degrading clinician productivity.
Provider retention. Communication, compensation review, and leadership structure through the months when attrition risk peaks.
Revenue cycle and payer work. Credentialing continuity, contract consolidation, denial and authorization remediation.
Margin improvement. Staffing model, utilization, site-level accountability, and cost structure aligned to the value creation plan.
Turnaround and stabilization. For assets tracking behind plan: payer mix, revenue cycle, and operational restructuring through exit readiness.

Who This Is For

Sponsors who have just closed a behavioral health platform or add-on.
Operators absorbing multiple acquisitions at once and losing clinical consistency.
Boards holding an asset that is behind its value creation plan.
