About NAMCP
NAMCP was founded in 1991 to serve the educational interests and needs of physicians working in any form of managed healthcare. NAMCP is run by physicians for physicians. Since physicians affect 85% of the expense side in healthcare, NAMCP believes they should take a proactive role in developing the best delivery system for patients in managed healthcare, thereby increasing quality, reducing costs and improving practice performance and clinical outcomes. Members of NAMCP are medical directors and practicing physicians from purchasers (employers), health plans and provider systems. NAMCP is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing education to physicians.
