What We Do

Three Practices. One Operator.

We don't hand you a report and disappear. We build the thing, implement the strategy, and stay until it works.

Case Studies

Results That Live
in the Real World.

Five engagements. Five different organizations. One constant: outcomes that actually moved the needle.

Commercial Pipeline
Growth & Strategy

Building a $50M+ Commercial Engine from Zero

A healthcare technology SaaS company had product but no pipeline. We built structured sales infrastructure, recruited the team, and created a qualified pipeline exceeding $50M in under two years.

$50M+ Qualified pipeline built in <2 years
Enterprise System Migration
Operations

Enterprise System Conversion Without Service Disruption

Migrated core operating systems for a regional health plan affecting 1,000+ employees — faster post-launch stabilization than any comparable project in the organization's history.

1,000+ Employees transitioned without disruption
AI Policy Tool
AI Solutions

Enterprise AI App for Medicaid Policy in 90 Days

A state policy organization needed real-time "what if" scenario modeling for legislative briefings. We delivered a fully functional enterprise-grade AI application in under 3 months — used in actual hearings.

<90 Days from brief to legislative-ready AI tool
Why IX Solutions

Not Another AI Vendor.
A Trusted Advisor.

Healthcare organizations don't need more software. They need experienced partners who understand the clinical, operational, and regulatory realities — and know how AI can actually help.

Healthcare-Only Focus

Every engagement is shaped by decades of payer, provider, and government program experience. We speak your language — DRGs, HEDIS, SDOH, CMS — and we've lived these challenges from the inside.

Governance Before Deployment

AI without governance is liability without limit. We build compliance frameworks, audit trails, and model accountability structures before a single algorithm touches patient data.

Workforce-First Approach

Technology doesn't transform organizations — people do. Our change management methodology ensures your teams adopt, trust, and leverage AI tools rather than resist them.

Measurable ROI

Every engagement begins with baseline metrics and defined success criteria. We don't close a project without documented outcomes — and we've never missed a target by more than 5%.

About the Founder

An Operator, Not an Evangelist.

J.R. Long has spent 25 years inside healthcare — not advising from the outside, but running commercial teams, closing enterprise deals, and managing the operational complexity that most consultants only read about.

Before founding IX Solutions, J.R. held senior positions at HCSC (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas) and Centene, where he led teams to exponential revenue growth and secured government contracts exceeding $30M. He's also a Partner at Nexus Health Strategies.

His approach is direct: "Tools that ship. Built by an operator, not an evangelist." If it won't survive first contact with your staff, we don't build it.

Client Voices

The Organizations We've
Transformed Say It Best.

★★★★★

"J.R. and his team didn't just hand us a strategy deck — they embedded with us for six months and saw the work through to production. Our prior auth denial rate dropped 31% in the first quarter after launch."

MK
Michelle K.
VP of Revenue Cycle, Regional Health System
★★★★★

"We'd tried two other consultancies before IX Solutions. The difference was their regulatory depth — they knew exactly what our compliance team would flag before we did. Zero surprises at audit."

DT
David T.
Chief Compliance Officer, National Payer
★★★★★

"The workforce training component was something we hadn't even thought to ask for. Our clinical staff went from skeptics to champions. Adoption hit 87% in 90 days — unheard of in this environment."
