With a panel of over 3,000 physicians,
50 Medical Groups/IPAs, 69 Hospitals and a myriad of Ancillary
providers,
PNO builds and manages Care1st provider network throughout Los
Angeles county. With state-of-the-art information system with
on-line Internet
accessibility and highly experienced management support to achieve
optimal provider satisfaction.
PNO understands the importance
of developing and maintaining solid relationships with providers
and the barriers that the under served population must overcome
in order to access health care services. As a mixed model HMO, Care1st
contracts with individual physicians and Medical Groups/IPAs on
a capitated basis. Under the Medical Group/IPA arrangements, many
operational functions are delegated with Care1st providing oversight.
Working closely with You
Our mixed model also offers an opportunity for independent physicians
and other provider types to contract directly with Care1st under
flexible reimbursement methodologies. It is our desire to be the
most provider responsive department by working closely with our
providers to better understand the obstacles facing them in order
to improve the delivery of health care services.
Procedures & Guidelines
We release up-to-date information for providers, on state mandated
procedures via manuals & newsletters.
Medical Record Documentation standards
Care1st’s goal is to assure each patient has a legible, detailed, well organized, confidentially stored, easily retrievable medical record. These records need to be consistent with standard medical and professional practice and meet the standards of oversight organizations, including Care1st Health Plan and regulatory agencies.
Care1st Health Plan recommends a six section format
