Healthcare business development that opens doors and closes contracts.

Twenty years selling to surgeons, hospital executives, physician practices and payers. I build the pipeline, the channel and the contracts for healthcare companies in a growth phase, as a fractional operator or in a full-time seat.

What an engagement delivers

The work of a senior BD leader for companies in an early growth phase or opening a new market: find the buyer, earn the meeting, close, then build the system so it repeats. On contract or as a full-time hire, with a weekly scoreboard your leadership can audit.

Pipeline built from zero

Target mapping, list building and multi-channel outreach by phone, email and LinkedIn, run with CRM discipline and weekly activity reporting. Surgeons, hospital leaders and physician practices, reached through the channels they actually answer.

Channel and partner programs

Distributor networks, referral partnerships and the incentive structures behind them. Independent reps and distributors for devices and diagnostics; CPAs, payroll firms and PEOs for employer programs.

Clinical and economic selling

Fluent with surgeons, service-line leaders, CFOs and payers. Comfortable moving a conversation from the OR to episode-based reimbursement (ACO, CMS TEAM) without losing either audience.

Government and enterprise contracting

State and municipal RFPs, IDN and value-analysis approvals, GPO negotiations and VA contracting. I know what the committee needs to see before it says yes, and how long it really takes.

How it works

Three phases, one operator

For fractional engagements. Every one starts with a diagnosis your team keeps whether or not we continue; most clients move to a monthly retainer for the run phase.

Phase 1

Diagnose

Two to three weeks. Market map, target list, message strategy and a pipeline plan with numbers attached.

Phase 2

Build

The outreach engine stood up: lists, sequences, scripts, CRM structure and the reporting cadence.

Phase 3

Run

Ongoing fractional execution. Booked meetings, a managed pipeline and a weekly scoreboard to leadership.

Programs I represent

Current offerings

Alongside consulting work, I represent three programs directly. Each one has a specific buyer, and I only bring it up when the fit is real.

For business owners, CPAs, payroll firms and PEOs

Section 125 wellness plan

An employer benefits program built on a Section 125 cafeteria plan. Employees get added health and wellness benefits; employers see a reduction in payroll tax on participating employees. Designed by ERISA counsel with an independent opinion letter and audit protection on file.

Results depend on the employer's payroll and participation. I share the compliance file first and let you or your CPA judge it.

How the program works →
For companies with high-earning 1099 producers

Non-qualified deferred compensation

Executive benefit plans for firms whose top producers are independent contractors and locked out of standard retirement vehicles. A vesting deferred structure that helps attract and keep producers, and that a competitor can't copy the way they copy a split.

Common fits: real estate brokerages, insurance agencies, physician groups. The ERISA attorney models the plan; I run the first conversation.

How the plan works →
For independent hospital-based physician groups

No Surprises Act revenue recovery

An automated service that takes out-of-network claims through the federal IDR process so physician-owned radiology, anesthesia, emergency and pathology groups collect what they're owed. Paid as a percentage of what's recovered, so the group carries no upfront cost.

No group is promised a specific recovery. We look at your claim mix first. Offered with Advantify.

About

Jay Beatty

I started in operating rooms and ended up running a laboratory. The thread through all of it is the same: find the buyer, earn the meeting, close, then build the system so it happens again without me in every room.

I've spent my career in healthcare sales and operations, first selling implants and biologics to orthopedic surgeons, then leading national sales through independent distributors, then running a clinical laboratory as COO through the largest testing program in its history. Since 2026 I've worked as an independent business development consultant, usually running two engines at once for companies in an early growth phase.

I work remotely from central Pennsylvania and travel when the work calls for it. I hold a Life, Accident and Health producer license. My degree is in biomedical physics, which mostly means I read the clinical papers before I sell the product.

Good fit if you are

  • A medtech, diagnostics or healthcare AI company opening a territory or a new specialty
  • A founder who needs booked meetings with surgeons, hospital executives or physician practices
  • A company entering government or IDN contracting for the first time
  • A benefits, payroll or accounting firm looking for a program to bring to business-owner clients
  • A company hiring a full-time BD or sales leader who has built the function before

If your pipeline needs a senior operator, fractional or full-time, let's talk.

Twenty minutes is enough for me to tell you whether I can help and what the first three weeks would look like.
