What is Allied Physicians?

Allied Physicians of Michiana, LLC (Allied) was formed by eight physician-owned groups in 1997 as a response to the consolidation of physician practices and the growth of managed care in the St. Joseph County area. The goals of Allied Physicians were then, and still are, to come together to contract with managed care entities, to take advantage of economies of scale in providing support services to the member practices, and to provide services together that each practice alone could not afford to provide. Allied’s vision is that by accomplishing these goals, the value of medical care will be improved for the member practices’ patients by increasing the quality of care while minimizing overall costs.

Who Can Join Allied Physicians?

Only physicians that are board certified in their specialty qualify for membership in Allied Physicians. In addition, Allied member physicians require of themselves fifty (50) CME credit hours every two (2) years.

Why Join Allied Physicians?

The model of Allied Physicians allows for the advantages of practice consolidation while member physician groups retain their practice autonomy. Medical decisions, physician compensation, practice operations and staffing decisions all continue to be made by the practices’ physicians. No other model provides this combination.
