Peter Avellino

Peter Avellino is a Managing Director in EisnerAmper's Health Care Services Group and a trusted advisor to hospital and health system boards and executive teams through some of the most consequential moments in an organization's lifecycle: turnarounds, divestitures, and complex transactions. With more than 25 years of health care experience, Peter brings a rare combination of hands-on operational command and transaction-level rigor to engagements where the stakes, the timeline, and the scrutiny are all highest.
He has guided multi-hospital systems, academic medical centers, and post-acute and hospice organizations through turnarounds and complex transactions (including mergers, acquisitions, and enterprise-wide restructurings), combining hands-on operational leadership with the program-management discipline these engagements require.

Boards and executive teams engage Peter when the path forward calls for more than incremental improvement, when it requires a fundamentally new operating structure delivered on a fixed timeline, under regulatory scrutiny, and without disrupting patient care.
Peter’s industry experience covers inpatient acute, post-acute (SNF, LTACH), outpatient hospital and free-standing diagnostic centers, and physician practices. Peter has demonstrated extensive health care transformational leadership skills in areas, including finance, reimbursement, operations, revenue cycle, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions. In addition to leading large-scale margin improvement initiatives, vendor management, contracting (payer and vendor), and strategic planning, including new service development and market share strategies.

Peter also has extensive experience across the health care continuum, including large teaching hospitals and physician groups, rural sole community hospitals, multi-specialty physician groups, skilled nursing, accountable care organizations, and physician-hospital organizations.  
As a leader in the health care industry, Peter has also led and facilitated board retreats and leadership teams in change management directives. His expertise has allowed him to provide strategic guidance to health care leadership by paving the way to profitability and revenue retention.  

Prior to joining the firm, Peter was Director in the Health Care Advisory Group at a national accounting firm. He was responsible for client expansion in the health care provider space and primarily focused in the Mid-Atlantic/Midwestern region.  Peter has also served in the capacity of interim management of operations, finance, revenue cycle, payroll, contracting, budgeting, reimbursement, revenue cycle, forecasting, and treasury management.  

Peter has presented and written articles for HFMA, AAHAM, and HCAA on topics such as MIPS, MACRA, Vendor Management, Price Transparency, and Shifting Reimbursement Models.
