Health Care | McGuireWoods Consulting

McGuireWoods Consulting's distinctive state and federal health care policy teams provide clients with a one-stop shop for public affairs solutions. Our team includes former state Medicaid directors, legislators and senior staff, along with a deep bench of veteran lobbyists.

We tackle consequential issues in today's changing health care landscape such as impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on state funding, work requirements, taxes and budget allocations.

Our client base spans investors, insurers and providers, including physician groups, specialty networks and the companies that support these enterprises.

Your Seat at the Table

We hold close relationships with the administration, Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Food and Drug Administration, as well as the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee.

We are also well suited to assist clients with health care matters before state legislative, executive and regulatory branches, as well as the National Association of Medicaid Directors and national political organizations, giving clients a voice at important meetings where policy is shaped.

Policy Monitoring

Our team provides legislative and regulatory tracking and political analysis in all 50 states and the federal government, enabling clients to effectively target legislation and policies and prioritize resources. We also inform clients of congressional and executive branch developments that stand to impact our clients, engaging elected officials and regulators when necessary.

Legislative Advocacy

We assist clients with analyzing the political landscape, bill drafting, coalition building and direct engagement with decisionmakers to advance our clients’ priorities effectively and ethically. We provide strategic planning and consistent communication at every stage of the process.

Government Relations

We are more than lobbyists. Our team represents clients before federal and state Medicaid and Health and Human Services agencies on issues related to coverage, reimbursement and compliance.

State Funding

We secure state budget appropriations for goods and service providers looking to do business in the health care sector.

Medicaid Coverage Preservation

We help translate policy goals into effective contracting and payment models and collaborate with organizations looking to expand their presence across state lines.

Government Contracts

Private companies often help states address health care challenges, and our team navigates agencies, the legislature and the governor’s office to move innovative ideas across the finish line.
