Maximize Your Funding Under the Rural Health Transformation Program

September 10, 2025

Application and Implementation Support

BRG Healthcare can provide comprehensive support throughout the Rural Health Transformation Program process, streamlining your effort to deliver a complete and compliant application. Our team also can assist with implementation to ensure a smooth transition from planning through execution.

We have long-established working relationships with state agencies, hospital associations, and rural health collaboratives and can help:

  • Design a competitive rural health transformation plan that aligns your proposal with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) priority areas and identifies rural hospital vulnerabilities, service gaps, and community health priorities.
  • Build data-driven, evidence-based strategies using proprietary analytics to model financial sustainability across policy and reimbursement scenarios that incorporate prevention and chronic disease management strategies that CMS values.
  • Maximize fundable initiatives by identifying and scoping high-impact projects that meet at least three CMS-approved funding activities, such as:
    • recruiting and retaining clinicians (with five-year retention planning)
    • adopting emerging technologies for prevention and chronic care
    • expanding access to opioid and substance use disorder treatment
    • transitioning to value-based care models
    • “right sizing” rural health services for sustainability
  • Engage and unite rural stakeholders to facilitate partnerships between hospitals, health systems, primary care, behavioral health, and public health to create a unified statewide vision and help foster consensus among rural providers, community leaders, and policymakers.

BRG Healthcare helps leaders align their financial, clinical, and operational performance. Our team has practical experience to help you respond quickly and accurately to CMS.  Organizations that work with BRG Healthcare benefit from:
