LaSalle Medical Associates CEO Dr. Albert Arteaga, M.D.

“We did a very thorough review and evaluation of several management services organizations, and we believe that Altura will be a great help in freeing us up to spend more time with our patients,” said Dr. Albert Arteaga, CEO of LaSalle Medical Associates.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAIF. On September 1, 2023, LaSalle Medical Associates transitions to a new Management Services Organization (MSO)—Altura Management Services Organization, LLC. MSOs are organizations that provide a variety of administrative functions for Independent Practice Associations on a contract basis.

Services include such routine but time-consuming tasks as utilization management, claims processing and provider credentialing.

“We did a very thorough review and evaluation of several management services organizations, and we believe that Altura will be a great help,” said Dr. Albert Arteaga, CEO of LaSalle Medical Associates.

Altura’s goal is to continuously enhance the quality of the Independent Practice Association (IPA) services that they provide.  LaSalle’s alliance with Altura is expected to improve the timeliness, accuracy and quality of claims payments, credentialing, utilization management, reporting and other services. This will also advance LaSalle’s relationships with health plans and its performance of health plan requirements.

LaSalle serves many people who are covered by Medi-Cal and Healthy Families. They also accept patients covered by Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Molina, Care 1st, Health Net and Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP). LaSalle knows how to help people who lack insurance enroll in coverage that fits their needs.
