MSO

MSCI MSO v2.0

MSCI MSO is an organization through which independent practices come together as members to integrate various administrative services and provide them centrally. The MSO, organized under a single tax identification number (TIN), creates economies of scale with reduced administrative costs for members. Member practices outsource “tactical” services to the MSO such as revenue cycle management , electronic medical record (EMR) and billing technology and information technology support, health plan contracting, credentialing, outcomes and care management, professional development, compliance, patient registration/verification, group purchasing, financial management, and human resources functions. Practices can reduce their administrative costs and practice leadership can focus on strategic activities that improve patient care, build a stronger brand, develop relationships, and grow their business.

MSCI MSO v2.0 value proposition for physician practices is predicated by the following important questions that every small individual practice should consider:

• What is your strategy?
• What are you doing with your practice?
• Staying the course?
• Business as usual?
• Will the powerful decision-makers pay attention to you as they organize larger care delivery systems?

• To be effective
• Reduce costs
• Improve market position of individual practices
• To provide administrative and tactical services so members can focus on strategically positioning and growing their practice
