Industry: healthcare
Healthcare due diligence tests how a healthcare target serves patients and protects their data: whether patients can find it and book, how fast it answers, what it exposes to the internet and where consent or privacy rules create risk. Meo Advisors starts from public evidence; HIPAA work inside the target needs authorized access.
In short
Healthcare due diligence is the review a buyer runs on a healthcare provider or services company before committing: its finances and contracts, and also how it serves patients, what its systems expose and where its practices create regulatory risk.
Patient access is how easily a patient can find a provider, reach it and get an appointment.
Healthcare is the deepest vertical in our private equity due diligence work, and both of our full cases are healthcare.
The same six areas as any target, with patient access, patient-facing systems and patient-data rules weighted up.
| Step | What we test | TCPA check |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Find | The right number in listings, ads and AI answers | |
| 2. Inquire | Forms, numbers and chat | |
| 3. Connect | Answer and routing, including after hours | |
| 4. Respond | First-reply speed | TCPA check |
| 5. Follow up | Cadence, consent and opt-outs | TCPA check |
| 6. Book | Confirmed booking or sale |

The healthcare technology due diligence review connects patient-facing scheduling to the EHR, integrations and internal records that need authorized access.
On a healthcare target, the outside view most often turns up these.
Yes, once the target authorizes it. Before that, we review what is public, such as tracking on patient-facing pages and how forms collect health information. A HIPAA risk assessment inside the target needs authorized access and runs on request.
Findings that turn on how HIPAA applies go to counsel; this is not legal advice.
Due diligence is the review before you commit; due care is keeping reasonable controls in place afterwards. Our diligence finds the gaps, and the hardening rows of the 100-day plan carry the due care.

For a healthcare target, lead with patient access and patient-data risk, give each finding its evidence and an owner, and list what the outside view could not see.
