PremierOne Plus MSO
An Ideal Route to Healthcare Excellence

Value-based care model continues to gain traction as many providers, government agencies, and commercial payers diligently forge path toward enhanced healthcare while reducing the costs.

Yet, this transformation has encountered uneven terrains, with many stakeholders grappling to embrace the shift from a volume-centric system to one that champions value. A managed service organization (MSO) can guide independent physician associations (IPA) and medical groups to navigate this much-needed, rewarding journey by optimizing operations and fully embracing the promise of value-based care.

PremierOne Plus MSO (POPMSO) checks all the right boxes to serve as a trusted partner that can address the needs of providers in a managed care setting. Established with a mission to motivate, facilitate, and create opportunities for clients, the firm ensures its managed IPAs, medical groups, hospitals, and physician practices have a coordinated, cost-effective delivery system that offers quality services to their members and physicians. When they partner with POPMSO, clients are assured that they will receive superior and timely support from a dedicated and friendly managed care team.

An agile team of seasoned industry experts is at the core of its excellence, helping negotiate contracts for clients with health plan providers. This allows physicians and medical groups to be motivated by managed care and value-based reimbursements than conventional fee-for-service models. By facilitating this transition in the most efficient and sustainable manner, it empowers clients with more opportunities to drive growth and revenue.

On the other side of the benefit spectrum are patients, who always get the best attention and care from their physicians. Adhering to the value-based care model, clinicians can spend more time with patients, thoroughly examining and diagnosing all underlying conditions and providing the best treatment.

POPMSO has successfully implemented this approach in many communities, creating about 15 different IPAs and medical groups, each tailored to the specific needs of the patients and doctors. The success of its contracts and the resulting satisfaction of all parties involved has positioned the firm as a go-to partner for practices and clinicians in implementing successful value-based care initiatives.

“We excel at assisting clients with the necessary operations in managing a facility, reducing physician workload for focused care, and optimizing functional efficiency,” says Jay Choi, CEO of POPMSO.

In a remarkable case study, POPMSO highlights the journey of two physicians who joined a medical group in 2019. It provided substantial financial aid, including a $200,000 upfront amount and a low-interest loan, facilitating the launch of their clinic. With contract support and effective marketing campaigns from the firm, the physicians flourished. In a few years, one doctor’s exceptional progress led to earning approximately $1.7 million annually, which positioned him as community top performer. This success underscores POPMSO’s impactful support, yielding impressive outcomes for numerous physicians.

The team embraces a transparent client-centric approach to service delivery, where it shows the health plans’ vision to individual doctors before implementation. The methodology involves a motivation process, offering extra bonus plans to doctors who embraced the new care model, alleviating the challenges of aligning individual doctors’ interests with the value-based model.

It uses advanced software, a co-developed web-based system, to simplify information flow between providers and health plans. This empowers them to manage claims, authorizations, and track status. The MSO management software further aids practices in implementing and maintaining electronic health records (EHR), ensuring compliance and potential savings.

POPMSO holds a distinctive edge over competitors as a privately owned company operating in a specialized MSO niche. Its success is bolstered by a dedicated and motivated staff, many of whom have remained with the company since its inception. Ongoing employee benefits and a stable work environment have contributed to retaining the key managerial positions, fostering a cohesive team approach that delivers exceptional value-based care solutions and lasting partnerships with clients.
