Tri State Medical Group

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide accurate, timely and professional service to our physician groups to assure continuity in our healthcare environment. We strive to provide services that will benefit the groups and give them the time and attention to provide quality healthcare services to their patients.

Who Are We?

Tri-State Medical Group, LLC (TSMG) is an Independent Practice Association formed in 1996. TSMG is a specialty IPA which presently has over 20 surgical and medical practices, representing over 150 practicing physicians.

The association is governed by a 16 member Physician Board with all practice members invited to attend and participate. Each practice also participates on the Council of Managers through its respective Manager. An eight member Executive Committee sets direction and oversees overall association operations.

TSMG was created to assist the Member Groups to cope successfully with the many challenges that face medical groups today. In utilizing a format of horizontal integration, TSMG provides a forum to optimize:

	Quality patient care
	Solutions to mutual problems and challenges sharing a “best practice” approach
	Group presence to voice concerns of specialty medicine to local and regional decision making
	Facilitating in the evaluation of managed care plans
	Contracting standards developed by TSMG
	Local “Messenger Services” between member groups and managed care plans
