Why AHS?
| AHS | Management Company | DIY / Internal Team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equity or Ownership Required | No equity taken | Usually required | None, but internal pressure/stress |
| Startup Policy Development | Built from scratch to pass CMS/accreditation | Often templated and reused | Time-consuming or copied from others |
| Vendor Selection | Unbiased, based on your needs | May steer toward partner vendors | Freedom to choose, but overwhelming |
| Survey & Launch Support | Includes mock survey, training, CMS prep | Sometimes bundled, not personalized | Often missed or reactive |
| Flat-Fee Structure | Transparent, scoped pricing | Management fees or % of revenue | No fee, but higher hidden cost in time |
| Post-Launch Flexibility | You decide if you want ongoing support | Locked into contract | Total control, but less guidance |
