Physician-led healthcare advisory, since 2020

Healthcare strategy, from Central Europe to the Middle East.

Vogler Group is a physician-led advisory firm. We help providers, payers, medtech companies and investors decide where to compete and what to own, and we stay involved until the decision is working in the business.

Capabilities

Strategy is the core of the firm. Our M&A and management consulting work grows out of it, so the thinking behind a decision stays with the client through the transaction and into operations.

Strategy

Core practice

We help healthcare leaders decide where to compete and how to win there, with the regulatory and reimbursement reality of each market built into the answer from the start.

Where we help

  • Corporate and portfolio strategy for private providers, payers, medtech companies and investors
  • Market entry and expansion, from market sizing to partner and distributor selection
  • Service line and network strategy for hospitals and clinic groups
  • Product and channel strategy for private health insurers
  • Business model design for digital health and platform businesses
  • Reimbursement and policy scenarios, including long-term care reform

Questions clients bring us

Which markets justify a direct presence, and which are better served through a partner?

How will a single-payer system respond to a new service line or device?

M&A advisory

Sell-side and buy-side advice on healthcare transactions, led by people who read a clinical operation as closely as a set of accounts.

Where we help

  • Sell-side mandates, from preparation and equity story to competitive two-stage processes
  • Buy-side advice, from target screening through valuation to negotiation
  • Commercial and clinical due diligence
  • Buyer mapping across strategic acquirers and financial sponsors
  • Support for financial sponsors building healthcare platforms
  • Sell-side origination in Slovenian private healthcare, in partnership with CorSapio

Questions clients bring us

Who are the credible buyers for a specialist provider in this region, and what will they pay for?

What does clinical due diligence show that the financial model cannot?

Management consulting

Hands-on work inside provider groups and payers once the strategy or the transaction is set, measured against operating and financial targets agreed at the start.

Where we help

  • Performance improvement programmes for private hospitals and clinic groups
  • Operational efficiency in surgical and outpatient pathways
  • Clinical governance and quality systems
  • Back-office professionalisation for smaller providers, through a management services model adapted to a single-payer system

Questions clients bring us

Where is margin lost between the operating theatre and the invoice?

Which back-office functions should a small provider share, and which should it keep?

Our partner in Slovenia

CorSapio

In Slovenia, Vogler Group works as a partner of CorSapio, a Ljubljana advisory firm of 50+ professionals in financial, tax, legal, process, digital and EU-funding advisory. Together we work the Slovenian private healthcare market systematically rather than deal by deal.

Strategy

Market mapping

A bottom-up screen of Slovenian private healthcare providers that frames each owner's strategic options before any process starts.

M&A advisory

Sell-side origination

For owners considering a sale, we map strategic and financial buyers with CorSapio and run a competitive two-stage process, from teaser to signing.

Management consulting

Back-office professionalisation

For providers not yet ready to sell, we offer shared professional back-office functions through a management services model built for the ZZZS single-payer system. It strengthens the business today and prepares it for a transaction later.

How we work

Senior-led

The founder leads every engagement, from the first conversation to delivery.

Clinically grounded

A surgeon's training shapes how we test a service line or read a clinical due diligence.

An operator's view

The group runs its own care coordination and distribution businesses, so we also advise from the operator's side of the table.

Regional fluency

We work in Slovenian, German, Croatian and Serbian as well as English, and plan around how each regulator and payer actually operates.

Beyond advisory

Vogler Group also builds and runs healthcare businesses. They are managed separately from the advisory practice and give it an operator's perspective.

Vogler Med

Four services. A regenerative sports medicine platform in Ljubljana, inbound medical tourism across 7 hospitals in Austria, Slovenia and Croatia, port-side medical care for cruise passengers, and support for Slovenian patients treated in other EU hospitals.
