FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON ANESTHESIA SERVICES
AHP is helping address the anesthesia service needs for hospitals and their outpatient departments across the country with our perfect combination of team recruitment, cost containment, leadership and management expertise.
Our team is a diverse and experienced leadership group of health care veterans who combine the clinical aspects of anesthesiology with the non-clinical "business" aspects of our specialty; ultimately creating a well-oiled and efficient anesthesia service with a focus on the stellar patient care.
As an extension of your administration, your facility will leverage our:
» consultative approach to inquires (i.e. not commission driven)
» ability to reduce your current subsidy
» payor contracting expertise
» exclusive in-house anesthesia-only billing service
» anesthesiologists and CRNA recruitment depth
» implementing industry leading best-practices and quality tracking
We are very proud of being one of the most respected anesthesia practice management companies in the country and now the country's largest provider of CRNA administered propofol sedation in an outpatient setting.
VIDEO SUMMARY
View our 45-second summary video below or check out our anesthesia management services on our new YouTube Video Channel to view more anesthesia service related videos.
We will sit down with you during our consultative proposal process to help determine the most efficient, safe and cost effective anesthesia service that your facility would like to implement; while setting a common goal from the onset which typically includes (a) improving upon current coverage (b) reducing an anesthesia subsidy (c) improving on-site leadership (i.e. communication, response, management skills, organization, etc.).
»Anesthesiologist vs. CRNA vs. Anesthesia Care Team Staffing
Our typical anesthesia care teams are made up of both anesthesiologists & CRNAs and many times these individuals are the same familiar faces that serve your hospital today; only under the "AHP management umbrella."
We are more than happy to develop a set of staffing models for your team to compare, which includes a model with (a) only anesthesiologists, (b) only CRNAs, (c) a team of both anesthesiologists & CRNAs. With AHP, we will be happy to recommend a best-practice staffing model; however the choice is ultimately with your hospital administration and surgeons.
»Same people with a reduced anesthesia subsidy. How?
The existing team and/or newly recruited individuals will continue to provide all of the quality clinical services that your facility relies upon today, while now benefiting from our back-office management support, team leadership and improved billing processes; which can typically increase the anesthesia revenues by over 20% to 25%; simply due to our (a) favorable commercial payor rates leverage by our entire national case volume, (b) focus on the business aspect of anesthesiology (i.e. documentation, timeliness, accurateness, etc) and (c) streamlined process develope since 1998.

CLINICAL and NON-CLINICAL TEAM
With an AHP team; your facility will benefit from an assigned vice president of operations and practice manager (on-site or regional) who will be involved with the administrative side of your dedicated anesthesia practice and attend all monthly committee meetings and handle any disciplinary issues allowing your administration to leverage our expertise with managing the many nuances found when managing anesthesia services.
We also incorporate a Corporate Medical Director who combined with your On-site Medical Director will help “take the pain out of anesthesia management”.
PAYOR CONTRACTING
Consider it done. We understand the importance and the value of your surgeon’s referral patterns and have recruited a senior healthcare executive onto our executive management team who supports AHP's payor contracting needs along with supporting your hospital's desire to contract with a majority of third-party payors.

”PATIENT FRIENDLY” BILLING
With our in-network payor contracts, we try to keep it as simple as possible. We also have various informative brochures designed for our facility’s to help describe the anesthesia service (in English and Spanish) and also provide those patients with a 1-800 number and easy-to-read letter, when they receive our billing information. Our billing service is in-house, which equates to better collections, more control, increased reporting and a focus on revenue cycle management.
RECRUITING YOUR EXCLUSIVE ANESTHESIA TEAM
With access to over 80,000 anesthesiologists and CRNAs, AHP has our own anesthesia recruitment specialists ready to reach out initially to your local anesthesia community and find the providers that uphold the quality standards and credentials required by your facility.
As part of our “invited guest” approach, we recruit a team that not only supports your physicians and surgeons clinically, but also look to recruit individuals that can become part of your facility’s family and culture.
We will work closely with your facility to customize a quality management program, providing ongoing support and guidance for all of your performance improvement needs.
We have the experience and knowledge gathered from all of our hospital partnerships, large and small, that your hospital will be able to leverage our ability to easily implement various tracking components.
»Patient Satisfaction
Not every hospital has the same struggles, however with AHP, your administration can implement the typical patient satisfaction surveys and begin tracking the various measures where you may struggle; for example:
» responding timely to family questions
» support pre-procedure process
» achieve the goals set for patient satisfaction surveys
»Physician & Surgeon Satisfaction
With AHP, as your anesthesia management partner, you can implement as many goals as required to track and establish a market leading anesthesia department. We have some hospital partners who need more measures than others; however with the right on-site medical director as your team's leader, we can then customize an approach to ensure a market leading program is implemented; for example
» achieve the goals set for physician & surgeon satisfaction surveys
» response for OB call
» collaborative approach to OR scheduling and efficiency
