Healthcare Accreditation and Compliance Consulting Services — Complete Catalog
Last updated: April 2026
Integral Healthcare Solutions (IHS) provides healthcare accreditation and compliance consulting across 28 product lines — URAC, NCQA, NABP, ACHC, HITRUST, CARF, FACT, DNV, NCCHC, AAHRPP, and more. Every engagement is principal-led by Thomas G. Goddard, JD, PhD, former Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of URAC.
How IHS Engagements Work
IHS is a specialized healthcare accreditation and compliance consulting firm founded in 2002 by Thomas G. Goddard, JD, PhD, former Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of URAC. Unlike large generalist consulting firms, IHS focuses exclusively on healthcare accreditation, certification, and compliance — which means every engagement is led by a principal with decades of direct experience in the standards being implemented.
Our consulting model is principal-led, scope-based, and tailored to each client's specific situation. Engagement fees are customized to your organization's size, accreditation history, documentation maturity, and timeline. Every engagement begins with a complimentary discovery call that produces a fixed-fee proposal.
Below, our 28 service lines are organized into five categories. Click any service to see the full service page, FAQ, comparison, cost guide, and case study template.
Health Plan & PBM Accreditation
Accreditation and certification services for health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, case management and utilization management organizations, and health equity programs. Includes both URAC and NCQA frameworks for health plans operating under state regulatory requirements, ACA Marketplace participation, and Medicaid MCO contracting.
Pharmacy Accreditation
Accreditation services across the full pharmacy spectrum — specialty pharmacy, mail service, compounding, and digital pharmacy operations. IHS covers URAC, NABP (formerly VIPPS), and ACHC pharmacy programs and helps clients navigate state licensure, PBM network requirements, and accrediting body-specific standards simultaneously.
Facility & Clinical Accreditation
Facility-level accreditation across diverse clinical settings — DMEPOS supplier operations, dialysis centers, behavioral health, cellular therapy, correctional healthcare, human research protection, home health and hospice, hospital quality management, and federally qualified health centers. IHS works with eleven different accrediting bodies across these service lines.
- DMEPOS Supplier Accreditation (ACHC, NABP, and CMS-approved AOs)
- NDAC Dialysis Accreditation
- CARF Behavioral Health Accreditation
- FACT Cellular Therapy Accreditation (CAR-T, HCT, Immune Effector Cell)
- NCCHC Correctional Health Accreditation
- AAHRPP IRB & Human Research Protection Accreditation
- Home Health & Hospice Accreditation (CHAP, ACHC, TJC)
- DNV GL ISO 9001 Healthcare Accreditation
- FQHC Site Visit Preparation (HRSA Operational Site Visit)
Certification & Regulatory Compliance
Certification programs and regulatory compliance consulting for healthcare cybersecurity (HITRUST), 340B drug pricing, laboratory-developed tests, AI governance, telehealth operations, and remote patient monitoring. These services typically address modern regulatory requirements that intersect with traditional accreditation frameworks.
Consulting Program Design & Development
Program-level consulting engagements that build or redesign core healthcare compliance functions — credentialing program design, certified verification organization build-out, compliance program development, Certificate of Need applications, and regulatory readiness gap assessments. These engagements are typically longer-term and produce operational infrastructure, not just accreditation.
How to Choose the Right Service
If you know exactly which accreditation or certification you need, navigate directly to the relevant service page. Each service page includes a FAQ, process overview, cost guide, comparison (where applicable), and a case study template showing the IHS engagement model.
If you're not sure which accreditation applies to your organization — or whether you need multiple simultaneously — a discovery call with IHS will produce a recommendation based on your state regulatory requirements, payer contract requirements, and strategic goals.
