Management

The best kind of tranquility starts right here.

When you partner with VitalMed to manage your operation, you get the benefit of everything we know about anesthesia, and that's a lot. The VitalMed management team has over 50 combined years' experience delivering and managing anesthesia services, and we currently provide management services for 6 ASCs in three states. We have experience in a wide variety of settings including teaching hospitals, urban, rural, and community hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and office-based practices, which means we're fully capable of handling your operation—large or small.

Hospital Contract Negotiations

The contracts hospitals sign with Physicians and CRNAs have enormous impact on the level of satisfaction each party gets from the working situation. Fee structure, reimbursement practices, billing assistance, and scheduling are all negotiable items, and VitalMed can guide you through the process and help ensure the end result is fair and satisfactory for everyone.

Provider and Payer Credentialing

VitalMed's credentialing team is the liaison between the facility, provider, and insurance payers. From securing facility privileges to receiving group and individual payer approvals, our staff is knowledgeable in all credentialing requirements, allowing for timely facility assignments and collections of your claims. VitalMed utilizes custom credentialing software, which gives us the ability to manage information needed for license and malpractice renewals on an on-going, proactive basis.

Departmental Management

If your hospital employs CRNAs directly, VitalMed can partner with you provide effective, experienced leadership for your team. We can also evaluate current staff and identify key individuals with leadership potential. With a past President of the AANA (2001-2002) on our operations team, we bring a unique understanding of the typical relationship issues between department management and CRNAs. We leverage this understanding and our relationships with CRNAs to strengthen the partnership between hospital and service provider, and the results are impressive.

Accounting Services

Business-side anesthesia comes with its own unique accounting demands. With anesthesia costs ever-increasing and reimbursement on the decline, the preparation and analysis of timely, accurate financial data is critical to survival. VitalMed can provide certified accounting services, strengthened by our all-around knowledge of the industry to keep your operation running smoothly and help you make good, informed decisions regarding your anesthesia operation.

Human Resource Services

No matter what the industry, the human element is perhaps the most difficult to manage empathetically and effectively. Human emotion and temperament, as well as the individual needs of your people, can greatly impact your operation's productivity. VitalMed can provide specialists in this area who are familiar not only with the practice of HR, but of anesthesia's particular demands.
