Meet Lisa Hance, Medical Group of PA’s New Physician Liaison

Medical Group of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce that Lisa Hance has joined the association’s staff as physician liaison. In this newly created role, Lisa will help member physicians and practices make the most of their Medical Group of PA membership.

With a background in healthcare marketing and relationship building, Lisa previously served as physician liaison for Geisinger Medical Center, where she increased patient referrals to the center and its children’s hospital service lines. She also played a key role in the development and implementation of a system-wide issue resolution process for internal staff and referring physicians.

After blood is drawn, a tumor is removed, or a tissue sample is collected, the waiting begins. What’s found in that small specimen could dramatically change your life or allow you to breathe a sigh of relief. But where does that sample go and who is analyzing it? It’s a question you may not have considered, but it’s one that can impact everything from the time it takes to get results to the cost for service.

As the healthcare market further consolidates, independent physicians continue to band together to provide high quality, affordable care for their patients.

Medical Group of Pennsylvania now has a membership of 75 medical practices and more than 375 physicians from throughout Central Pennsylvania.

In addition to joining efforts to protect the vital role of independent physicians, Medical Group of Pennsylvania members and their practices receive many benefits including:

• Participation in population health initiatives
• Revenue potential through an exclusive gain-share arrangement
• Access to a robust patient referral network
• Inclusion in the Healthcare Bluebook price transparency platform
• Opportunities to benefit from strategic partnerships
• Cost savings (20% on average) through group purchasing arrangements
• High-value health insurance options through The Glatfelter Agency (TGA)
• Marketing opportunities via our social media accounts and blog
• Education and networking opportunities

Through these benefits, MGP also saves independent practices administrative time and financial resources enabling them to maintain their patient-centric focus.
