AllMed Healthcare (http://www.allmedmd.com) is an 11 year old company that has tripled its revenue in the last three years. AllMed provides medical peer review services for insurance companies, health care providers, third-party administrators and claims managers. It employs a network of over 300 medical specialists throughout the United States that review medical cases to determine whether a particular procedure is medically necessary given the facts of the case. Such decisions have a huge impact on the bottom line of any medical payer.

AllMed is currently ramping up its hospital peer review business, offering itself as a third party peer review “judge” of hospital physician conduct. Internal quality management at hospitals is fundamentally flawed due to personal bias, time constraints, and lack of specialized knowledge and AllMed is well-qualified to act as an objective referee in such cases.

AllMed’s soon-to-launch web portal will allow it to service more clients more efficiently. It will enable contract physicians to access charts via a secure Internet connection, and allow hospitals to send charts to AllMed online.

More information on AllMed and the company’s medical review and hospital peer review services can be found on AllMed’s web site at http://www.allmedmd.com/ .
