The "Portfolio-Wide" Consolidation
The Challenge: A regional operator with 12 communities was struggling with rising costs for Resident TV and Nurse Call lines. They had multiple vendors (Comcast, Spectrum, AT&T) and no centralized contract management.
The Solution:
Consolidated: I move all 12 sites onto a master service agreement (MSA) with a single provider.
Eliminated: I identify and canceled 45 "ghost lines" (analog lines no longer connected to anything) that were billing monthly.
Optimized: I negotiate a bulk rate for resident TV packages, reducing the per-bed cost by 40%.
The Financial Impact:
Monthly Savings Secured: $12,500
3-Year Savings Value: $450,000
Insights Telecom Fee (One-Time): $37,500 (3 Months of Savings)
Client Retained Capital: $412,500
The "Competitor" Comparison: If this client had hired a traditional auditor (50% share):
They would have paid $225,000 in fees.
Insights Telecom would save them an extra $187,500 in fees alone.
The "Construction & Opening" Recovery
The Challenge: A newly constructed Assisted Living community was unknowingly placed on "Retail Rates" by their internet carrier during the chaotic pre-opening phase. They were paying street pricing for dedicated fiber.
The Solution:
Benchmarking: I flag the rate as 3x the market average for that zip code.
Renegotiation: I leverage the carrier's "Retention Desk" to re-rate the circuit to wholesale pricing, retroactive to the contract start date.
The Financial Impact:
Monthly Savings Secured: $2,200
3-Year Savings Value: $79,200
Insights Telecom Fee (One-Time): $6,600
Client would Retain Capital: $72,600
The "Hidden" Billing Error
The Challenge: A single-site CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) was being billed for "equipment rental fees" on modems they had returned 4 years ago.
The Solution:
Forensic Audit: I spot the recurring equipment codes buried on page 7 of the invoice.
Dispute Resolution: I manage the dispute process, proving the return with shipping logs from the carrier's own portal.
The Financial Impact:
Refund Check Secured: $8,400 (Credit for past overcharges)
Monthly Savings Secured: $175
Insights Telecom Fee: 25% of the Refund Check + 3 Months of Savings.
Client Retained Capital: $12,075 (Cash & Future Savings)
