ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO. (October 31, 2012). Linton & Associates, LLC, an employee benefits specialist agency serving New Mexico and the surrounding states, continues to support Lovelace Health Systems and its efforts to provide the best possible healthcare options despite the recent announcement that ABQ Health Partners medical group would be terminating its agreement with the healthcare provider.
To help members ensure that they have the healthcare options
they deserve, Lovelace has taken a number of steps, including acquiring
Southwest Medical Associates, a large and respected physician practice within
New Mexico. This addition to the growing number of available high-quality
physicians and healthcare services is a good fit as the company shares the same
philosophy for personalized and efficient service delivery, high value, and
integrity.
To further its reputation as a premier healthcare provider, Lovelace and its policy framework were also recently recognized by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission as the benchmark for health insurance policies above ten other policy models that should be sold on the state of New Mexico’s health insurance exchange under the new Affordable Health Care Act. Three of Lovelace’s hospitals were also mentioned in Modern Healthcare’s 100 Best Places to Work in 2012.
In commenting on Lovelace and its ability to offer the best
healthcare options for its members, Terry Linton, Founder of Linton &
Associates, LLC, stated, “All of these recent strategies enacted by Lovelace
illustrate their commitment to their members. We continue to support them as a
local New Mexico business and as a solution for many of our business and
individual clients when they seek healthcare providers that are focused on the
best interests of their customers.”
