AllMed Launches MedCert to Aid Physician Reviews
AllMed Healthcare Management has added MedCert to its PeerPoint platform. The new system was developed to help healthcare payer organizations outsource first-level physician reviews.

“Healthcare organizations are increasingly looking to outsource their medical reviews to either free up their medical directors for higher valued-added work, or to move physician reviews from fixed to variable costs,” said Andrew Rowe, CEO of Portland, Ore.-based AllMed, in a statement. “The MedCert solution plays perfectly into this trend.”
