USA Competitive Advantage

Experienced Administrative Team

Often smaller urology groups do not have the resources to hire experienced business managers or administrative teams. USA has the experience and personnel to address the complex issues that health care administrators and business managers face in today's ever-changing business and health care environment.

USA will find creative solutions to local practice needs with an emphasis on reducing costs, improving profitability and achieving long-term growth.

Administrative improvements may include:

• Payor contracting
  
• Bulk purchasing
  
• Coding/Billing
  
• Captive malpractice plan
  
• Pension and profit sharing plan
  
• Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
  
• PQRI
  
• Locums and PA recruitment
  
• Office staff hiring and oversight
  
• Excellent benefits for office staff

Health Care Leadership

Health care issues exist at the national, state and local levels. By joining USA, smaller urology groups will have the advantage of a national advocacy presence, as well as opportunities to have greater influence within their local health care environment.

Clinical Integration

Clinical integration is a commitment to healthy outcomes, value and measurable results for patients. USA will help urologists have a more clearly defined, coordinated care delivery model. Clinical integration is an important part of achieving market-driven success.

Ancillary Services Opportunities

Some of the most important advances in urology have been made possible by physicians using their own resources to bring new technologies to their communities. Investments in in-office ancillary services have led to improved patient access to the best treatments and to better integration of technology and patient care.
This integration has resulted in greatly improved quality of care, overall cost containment and improved revenue streams for practices. Until the creation of USA, smaller urology groups were limited in their ability to provide in-office ancillary services to their patients. USA can help smaller groups offer a greater selection of these services in their communities, particularly as the need increases for technological capacity to serve urology patients.
