Physician Support
Physicians and office managers were involved heavily in the
design and have continued involvement in the operation of
Coordinated Health/Care™.
Our program and processes are designed to minimize the hassle
for physician offices, and maximize the support provided. In
each area where we have a concentration of covered enrollees
(employees and dependents), we retain up to two local medical
directors who assist us in the implementation of our program and
serve on our Clinical Advisory Board. Practicing physicians have
assisted in the development of our disease and case management
programs. Office managers have assisted in the development of
our forms for referrals and pre-certifications, and our program
ID card. Surveys of our physician and practices indicate that we
are considered the among the best medical management companies
to work with.
Provider Networks
Because physician cooperation and practice support are essential
to the success of our program, we are selective about the PPO
networks that are utilized to ensure they are "provider
friendly." Most independent networks meet this criteria, but
problems exist with "blind" networks and networks owned by
institutional carriers. We undertake a review of the networks
being utilized in client plans to ensure the broadest coverage
and best discounts, while still meeting the requirement of being
provider-friendly.
