The Briggs Group, led by Philip D. Briggs, MD, MBA, is comprised of professionals, both employed and contracted, who are experts in the particular facets of healthcare—medicine, medical business, medical policy, operations, marketing, insurance contracting, billing, credentialing and overall practice analysis. Dr. Briggs, a new Executive Committee Member of the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative, has two medical facilities that were recently recognized by the NCQA for systematic use of Patient Centered, Coordinated Care Management processes—of the very first in the state of New Mexico. Having been successful in receiving recognition in these facilities, adopting the PCMH criteria as directed by NCQA and the application process, the Briggs Group is uniquely qualified to assist in the complex and often arduous tasks in converting a traditional practice to PCMH compliance. Once practice protocols meet PCMH standards, the Briggs Group can also assist with the application process.
