MCN Announces Launch of Upgraded Website

Seattle, WA (February 8, 2011): Medical Consultants Network, Inc. announces the launch of an upgraded website at www.MCN.com. The upgrade continues to allow clients’ and consultants’ convenient portal access to MCN’s fully integrated, national network. All web-based activity takes place in a secured environment compliant with HIPAA and URAC standards.

MCN holds accreditation as an Independent Review Organization from URAC. MCN is reaping the benefits of the private cloud implemented during the summer of 2010. By building on an already impressive virtualization offering, this move allows MCN to remain responsive to current requirements and to be flexible in a fast changing world while honoring our commitment to the security needs of our clients.

“We continue our steady focus on technological innovation, high quality consultants, and organic growth across the continent. Our service metrics remain stronger than ever,” said Paul Mayer, President since 1998. “Our on-going stability combined with a focus on advanced technology and records security, keep us attractive to our client base, some of whom have expressed concern about the stability of evaluation sources in today’s shifting industry.”

Medical Consultants Network, Inc. was founded in 1985 by Brian L. Grant, MD, who serves as Chair and Medical Director. MCN is a leading national provider of medical assessment and cost management solutions. Through its carve-out network of over 14,000 physicians nationwide, MCN serves group health, workers’ compensation, auto, disability and liability insurers, and self-insured employers through the provision of independent medical examinations, peer reviews, and other medical assessments. Services are provided either directly to insurers, federal and state agencies, and self-insured employers, or indirectly through third party administrators. MCN operates 17 offices, with four call centers (Seattle, New York, Tampa, Chicago) and regional offices strategically located near client clusters and claimant populations nationally.

The company was the first to provide an Internet presence with online ordering and client data access and the first to create a national network. It has remained under consistent management since its inception. “Our growth path is focused on quality people, quality systems, medical integrity, and consistent client focus,” according to Dr. Grant. “Our business is complex, with significant impact upon our clients. We anticipate and are seeing more interest in our field due to recent external industry events and think it important to make the MCN difference and service focus clear,” adds Grant.
