Resources for Your Practice

Pacific Medical Administrative Group (PMAG) is one of the largest Independent Physician Associations (IPA) for independent practices in Hawaii. With many changes to healthcare on the horizon, PMAG provides resources to its member physicians to prepare for payment reform and achieve sustainable practice transformation. PMAG helps physicians minimize the risks and mitigate the unknowns of practice transformation through:

  • Education
  • Training
  • Technical Support
  • Resources

Bridge to Practice

If you want to take over an existing practice or want to retire and have someone take over your practice, let us know as we have docs wanting to hand over their practices! They will mentor you through residency and you can get to know the practice. Then you walk in the door…and transition it to your practice.
