We are the voice of independent practices, advocating for new models and care systems that improve the lives of our patients. Our programs adhere to the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model, which drives significant reforms in healthcare delivery. Promoting these standards—including Electronic Health Records (EHR)—helps members deliver better care, cultivate patient relationships and capture savings.
Based on member input, we develop clinical programs and processes that can be easily integrated into practices.
We leverage member unity to secure favorable terms with insurers, vaccine providers and other suppliers.
We collaborate with community resources to give members easy access to data, research, pilot programs and more.
We help physicians and practices improve the quality and outcomes of the care they deliver to patients and families. Read More
