Medical management company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A medical management company offers a variety of consultative and advisory services for medical practices, such as case management, disease management and utilization management. Its purpose is to provide oversight to the practice of medicine and provide medical practices a sound basis for making practice management decisions.
Services provided by medical management companies to medical practices can include planning, management and plan design. Often they do both project consulting and ongoing advising for medical practices.
Such companies combine an in-depth understanding of the problems and opportunities within the health care system with technical expertise in management, contracts, economics, finance, managed care, systems, health planning, statistics, demographics, and design.
