Given the rapid change of health care over the past several years, American Health Group's current managed care philosophy includes design and implementation of Integrated Health Care Delivery Systems for the benefit of its clients throughout the United States. The seamless blending of hospital, physician, laboratory, and ancillary health care services into an integrated delivery system provides higher quality, improved patient satisfaction, and greater cost efficiencies for our clients.

Our managed care philosophy starts with a belief that our clients and their employees should have open access to the best hospital and physician providers. AHG has fostered relationships with some of the most cost-effective PPO networks across the United States and can extend these same PPO networks to future clients, depending on the need of the employer group. Solid managed care network coverage ensures that clients and their employees have the greatest access to primary and specialty care providers.

The increasing complexity of modern health care also dictates that patients have access to leading-edge medical and surgical therapies. American Health Group's managed care networks also include our national "Centers of Excellence," providing AHG's clients and employees with access to the best specialty referral care on a national level. Our "Centers of Excellence" encompass the Top 25 medical institutions in the United States. These national centers of medical and surgical expertise constitute the "best and the brightest" specialists in the United States and are utilized to assist AHG in providing its clients with leading-edge medical and surgical delivery of care.

Our partnership with clients may also include the design and development of customized provider networks that meet our client's specific geographic needs. This includes developing proprietary local or regional networks for the client's benefit.

With utilization of the latest Web technologies, respective clients and employees can easily identify and access physicians and hospitals in their managed care network. Whether it is from their office PC or from home, an employee and their family members can verify their managed care providers with ease.

Cost-effective, high-quality care to meet your needs as a valued partner. It is the managed care mission at American Health Group.
