EHS Fresno
EHS Medical Group is expanding its Medi-Cal and Healthy Families offerings into Fresno County in anticipation of the Anthem Blue Cross decision to change from a direct contract model to a delegated IPA model, beginning in early 2009.

As part of our network development activities, we invite all physicians to consider the advantages of adding EHS participation to your office panel. Click on the link below to learn more.

An additional feature for our participating primary care physicians is SynerMed Insurance Services, an insurance brokerage and enrollment division within the management company we use for our back-office. SynerMed Insurance Services can help grow your practice through such activities as:
  • Medi-Cal and Healthy Families Enrollment and Retention Programs
  • Personalized Broadcast Messaging through our dedicated automated call center - using your own voice and your own message - to your own patients for check-ups, clinic events, and other reminders.
  • Customized Marketing Approaches for each PCP
We invite you to compare our rates and services to your other managed care contracts.
We can design a program that's right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Updates

EHS Medical Group Fresno received its first member in February 2009 and is currently responsible for more than 40,000 beneficiaries in Fresno County. As part of establishing our presence, EHS rented space in downtown Fresno, hired staff (initially James "JR" Richardson, with more on the way), and began a comprehensive training calendar to help provider offices prepare for the changeover from Blue Cross direct to Blue Cross through EHS-Fresno. We are also continuing to develop and expand our contracted physician network.

Provider trainings have included group trainings in our Fresno classroom, as well as off-site meetings for multi-location providers such as Children’s Hospital, United Health Centers and others. To date, more than 160 physician and provider office staff attended these meetings. For those unable to attend one of our sessions, our EHS staff will conduct trainings in the physician or provider office.

In all of these sessions, we train both providers and staff on our HIPAA-compliant secure web portal – www.synermedconnect.com – which allows users to check eligibility, submit authorizations and claims electronically, and check status of their activities.

We are pleased to say that we now have more than 250 Fresno County registered users representing more than 160 physician and provider offices on SynerMedConnect, and we will continue this process to ensure that all EHS-Fresno physicians and provider offices are comfortable with our system.

We are also committed to continuing our integration into the community. For example, EHS-Fresno was a sponsor of the April 2009 pediatric CME conference "Rattled with All Your Work" put on by the UCSF Fresno Center for Medical Education and Research. We look forward to sponsoring additional opportunities in Fresno in the future.
