About HMI LLC

A Trusted Partner in Healthcare Financial Performance

Since 1989, HMI LLC has delivered specialized Health Information Management to hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and post-acute facilities across the United States. Our team of credentialed, U.S.-based specialists brings deep expertise to every engagement — from medical coding and coding compliance to chargemaster management, audit support, and revenue cycle integrity.

Unlike large, generalist consulting firms, HMI focuses exclusively on healthcare finance. That focus means our clients benefit from practitioners who understand the nuances of their specific facility type, payer mix, and regulatory environment — delivering results that generalists simply cannot match.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

"

We recently transitioned to HMI from another physician documentation and coding compliance vendor, and the entire experience has been positive. HMI adapted to our workflows for a seamless transition, our providers have shared positive feedback, and the Coding Hotline has been an invaluable resource. I would highly recommend HMI.

Our Difference

What Sets HMI Apart

01
Exclusive Healthcare Focus
We do one thing — Health Information Management — and we do it for physician practices, hospitals, and facilities of every type, not just one corner of healthcare. That singular focus means our team has seen every scenario, every payer quirk, and every regulatory shift across 35+ years of practice.
02
Credentialed, Domestic Workforce
Every specialist is U.S.-based and holds industry credentials — RHIT, CCS, CPC, CHC, and more. No offshore work, no knowledge gaps, no compliance exposure from overseas coding.
03
Relationships That Last
Our client relationships average well over a decade. Many clients have brought HMI with them through multiple facility changes, mergers, and organizational growth.
04
All Services Under One Roof
From revenue cycle through compliance through chargemaster — one trusted partner handles it all. No vendor patchwork, no coordination gaps, no conflicting guidance.

HMI has been a great partner with MedStar Washington Hospital Center for many years. We can always count on them to support us on projects small to very large — delivering consistent, honest results and thoughtful, targeted education for our physicians.
