MCG Health

MCG Health (operating under mcg.com), part of the Hearst Health network, is a pioneer and market leader in evidence-based clinical guidelines, healthcare analytics, and care management software. Originally established in 1988 under the actuarial firm Milliman (formerly Milliman Care Guidelines) before its acquisition by Hearst in 2012, MCG provides objective, scientifically vetted clinical decision support used by over 2,000 hospitals, government agencies, and a majority of major U.S. health plans. The platform continuously analyzes thousands of medical research studies annually to aggregate evidence across the full continuum of care, including ambulatory, inpatient, general recovery, behavioral health, and home care. MCG's suite of software products—such as Indicia for Providers and Cite for Payers—leverages advanced artificial intelligence (including cari™ and NoteGuardAI solutions) to streamline prior authorizations, optimize hospital length-of-stay, reduce readmissions, and minimize payer-provider friction. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, MCG Health plays an indispensable role in standardizing healthcare quality, utilization management, and value-based care delivery across the United States.
