Mission Statement:

"To assist physicians in establishing and maintaining financial and operational control of their practices."

PAUL ANGOTTI

PRESIDENT*** 1992 - Present

Consulting practice limited to physicians and medical groups. Consulting involves practice structure changes (adding new physicians, partial retirement, mergers & sales), practice operations, finance, and practice start-ups. Problem-solving involves operations analysis, and the development of recommendations and an implementation plan. Engagements are on an hourly, project, or retainer basis.

Strategic planning involves assisting physicians to establish practice goals that are in concert with their personal goals and developing plans to reach those goals. The process includes determining the most appropriate enterprise structure for the practice, and developing appropriate affiliations with such organizations as Independent Physician Associations, Management Service Organizations, Physician Practice Management companies, Physician/Hospital organizations, and other forms of partnering, affiliations, and equity relationships.

Operational planning and development include clinical operations, financial operations, patient flow, insurance, and patient billing and collections; marketing, relations with referring practitioners, hospitals, and insurance carriers; financial analysis, personnel administration, (policies, procedures, and benefit plans).

Specific work in managed care includes development of strategic and operational plans for practices, negotiation, administration, and analysis of managed health care contracts. Also development of computer systems for the administration, tracking and analysis of at-risk managed care contracts.
