How are medical decisions reached?
As a non-profit public benefit organization, our mission focuses on health, not profit. Maintaining good community health is what guides us; achieving that goal is what each of us takes pride in. That’s why you can be assured that at Sansum Clinic our providers receive no incentives for denying coverage or care. Our staff of health care professionals relies on medical criteria such as medical necessity, health benefit, availability, safety, and effectiveness to reach decisions regarding your health care. The team at our Managed Care Referrals Department considers factors such as appropriateness of care and service, as well as your existence of coverage. Our doctors collaborate with you to identify options which best meet your needs. Good judgment and good health are what it’s all about.
