Hostetler Management Group LLC was formed in 1999 to assist physicians in the management of their independent practices. Keith Hostetler the founder was a registered pharmacist with a masters in healthcare administration from the Ohio State University. Services that they initially provided focused on practice turnaround, operations monitoring and process improvement. Initial clients ranged from rural Ohio to the East Bay area of Northern California.

Early successes were demonstrated as all of the practices managed became noted as "Better Performing" practices as designated by MGMA. These results along with word of mouth referrals soon drove business expansion. Increasing from a solo staff, business needs required growth and hiring to the current staffing model of work from home and in office specialists.

Services offered include the original offerings of billing improvement but have expanded to include value based contract maintenance, analytics, and quality improvement emphasis.
