featuring Amit Rastogi, M.D., President of PriMed, LLC.

As organizations struggle to navigate through the regulations surrounding ACOs, learn during this one hour on-demand webinar how PriMed has developed a successful physician led ACO strategy enabling them to productively and rapidly align physicians.

Understanding the benefits of providing coordinated care before it became popular, PriMed looked to align with other local physicians in order to provide quality care while maintaining costs and achieving rational reimbursement levels.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to successfully develop a physician led ACO
• How physician alignment can improve quality of care
• Common pitfalls to avoid when starting out
• How to successfully work with insurance companies
• How to continue growing during healthcare reform

PriMed offers a new approach to help achieve more integrated and regimented care by offering local practices group accountability for quality and costs through performance measurement and “shared savings” payment reform.

PriMed began in 1996 as a primary care group consisting of board certified internal medicine and family practice physicians.  The group was formed in response to market pressures surrounding access and reimbursement.  PriMed is a unified group practice governed by a fifteen member Management Committee.  While PriMed operates as a unified group, it does provide significant autonomy for physicians to govern activities within their practice location.  Each practice location operates as an independent profit/loss center. As such, every practice has autonomy over their financial decisions.
