Assistance Getting Involved in ACOs and PCMHs

With the Affordable Care Act and the privatization of healthcare, many of our providers want to get involved in Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes. As an IECP provider, we can help alleviate some of the expense and redtape by providing the network for you.  An added benefit is that we can control the reimbursements paid to you so you’re not forced to take pennies on the dollar!

IECP helps developing IPAs find, train and support sales professionals.  In some cases, during an IPA’s early development, IECP will help neighboring states share a sales director and provide critical oversight, education and direction. Once these IPAs have found success IECP will help them transition into managing a full time sales director. ​IECP has also developed a Customer Relations Management (CRM) that will help sales personnel better manage their time and resources and provides an important communication and tracking tool for sales teams across the country.
