SynerMed was formed in 1995 in response to the need for a strong physician management organization – one with the ability to serve the core needs of the physician community. This included timely and accurate claims administration, utilization management/quality management and credentialing.

In January 2002, James Mason assumed the role of President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of SynerMed. At the time, the company had one client, a few hundred members and one goal in mind: to help physicians survive and prosper in the managed care environment. Since then, SynerMed has expanded to offer comprehensive health care management solutions that integrate physicians through technology, evidence-based medicine, streamlined work flow and advanced management processes.

Now the largest Medicaid managed service organization (MSO) in the country, SynerMed remains at the forefront of innovation by anticipating, meeting, and exceeding the needs of its clients. Through customized, next-generation tools and services - including SynerMedConnect, an online Electronic Medical Management (EMM) system, e-consults, insurance services, sophisticated claims scrubbers, authorization automation, health plan report automation, electronic claims submission and HIPAA compliance - SynerMed allows its partners to deliver efficient, cost-effective and high-quality coordinated care to more than half a million health care beneficiaries throughout the country.

The founding tenets of the company have been and remain very much in-line with the ideal of today's accountable care organization (ACO) model. SynerMed offers a management structure that simultaneously empowers its partners and holds them responsible for the delivery of high-quality health care. SynerMed is committed to connecting medicine and technology for the creation of new solutions that will save time, money and even lives. The company intends to be the leader in medical information and health care management by consistenly exceeding industry standards and providing partners with the tools and services needed to optimize - and revolutionize - the delivery of health care.
