Contracting & Managed Care
"It changes every day allowing me to grow in my knowledge!"
-Mitzi Vaughn, Vice President, Contracting
In order to provide quality patient care and ensure financial success, it is imperative that clear rules and standards are in place to create mutual and beneficial agreements between payors & practitioners.
While UPA is not a managed care company, we have professionals on our staff who focus on this service.
With the right pieces in place, contracting ensures quality patient care with all parties involved.
UPA provides consistent eyes on these moving parts that enable us to provide high quality care and maintain financial independence through these efficient workflows for our medical community.
Our panel of multi-specialty physicians meet on a regular basis representing the many clinicians throughout the carrier contract process.
UPA contracts with Commercial, Exchange, Medicare Advantage and TennCare lines of business.
