Provider Delivery Systems

AMG has been developing risk and fee-for-service provider networks since 1972. We have developed networks for fee-for-service to full global risk to specialty carve-out markets. Through the years, we have ventured into undeveloped and over-developed territories organizing physician and provider networks creating a win-win situation for all involved.

From a start-up company to an on-going venture, AMG can assist you with your needs.

As a hands-on company, we actually do the work for you, from writing contracts to operationalizing your company to marketing, negotiating and implementing the network to third party payors.

The financial structure of the network is an important factor in the success of the network, from fair and equitable rates for the providers, actuarial analysis of Payor negotiated rates for services to be provided to reinsurance for risk management. AMG will implement these processes or assist in evaluating your current financial structures for re-structuring.

Another key element to maintaining a strong network is fair and effective utilization management and review. AMG makes the system as easy as possible for the providers and the patients while maintaining the financial integrity of the company stability.

TPA Services and Interim Processing

AMG’s affiliated company, MIS Insurance Administrative Services ("MIS") can provide full, third-party administration (TPA) processing for your new company, new product lines or claims back-logs. MIS services allow you to fix your costs while building your cash reserve and generate new business without the burden and cost of the daily operations.

Until your enrollment volume warrants the high cost of purchasing a claim processing system, MIS can provide full managed care Payor and provider network processing services for your multi-option EPO/HMO, POS and PPO products. MIS can even answer the phone lines with your company name and use your business cards when meeting with your customers.

MIS can provide total or partial managed care processing. Many of our customers prefer to do their own utilization management and quality assessment by dialing into our computers to access the UM modules while have MIS handle the daily burden of total retail and wholesale processing.

When you purchase a processing system, we will work with your staff to transition the work flow into your operational structure, providing a smooth and seamless transition.
