Acupuncture Provider Network (dba AcuNet®) is a California statewide acupuncture Independent Practice Association led by David Wells, President and Clinical Director, and a seven-member Board of Directors. AcuNet® was formed in response to the growing interest and need for complementary health care services within the traditional western health care system. Over 120 licensed acupuncturists are currently affiliated with the group representing a wide range of clinical expertise, ethnic backgrounds and practice locations. AcuNet® providers are carefully selected and credentialed according to National Committee for Quality Assurance standards.
AcuNet's administrative operation is based on the principle that a successful group practice/IPA must have a tightly organized infrastructure. Frequent communication and an extensive provider education program provide the backbone for the' network. Providers receive formal inservice training and rotate through the Case Management Committee. With its focus on providing high quality customer service and clinical excellence, AcuNet® has created a seamless interface through the referral, case management/certification and claims payment processes. Extensive tracking reports are utilized to ensure a strong internal operation.
Clinical outcomes studies and patient satisfaction measures are key components of AcuNet's Quality Improvement Program, demonstrating the group's concern for continual monitoring of quality of care and customer satisfaction. Every case is audited during the case management/certification process to ensure the documentation is complete and accurately represents the patient's condition. Our case management team, led by Kevin McNamee assures high quality patient care, appropriate medical referral and prevents over-biling
Central to AcuNet's operation is the core belief that acupuncture helps manage care through lower cost services that yield high quality clinical outcomes. AcuNet® views the entities with which it contracts as true partners in the delivery of health services and seeks to expand those relationships with joint research and other projects. Currently AcuNet® is in the process of creating provider networks in states outside of Califorina.
AcuNet® offers "one-stop shopping" over a broad geographic area. In conjunction with a solid and cohesive infrastructure, clinical excellence is consistently demonstrated by the group. For further information about AcuNet® , please contact the administrative office at (818) 788-5360.
