Oct. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Fairhope, Alabama, October 17, 2011 — Richardson Bricken McKenzie, IV, MBA, FACMPE, CEO of AdvisorsMD, LLC and President of Healthcare Education Strategies, Inc. (HESI) has become a Fellow in the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE), the certification body of the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). Fellowship in the ACMPE (FACMPE) is the highest distinction in the medical group practice management profession. ACMPE will formally recognize McKenzie and one other Alabamian on their accomplishment in late October at the ACMPE Business Meeting Luncheon and Fellows Convocation, held in conjunction with the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) 2011 Annual Conference in Las Vegas.

To achieve Fellowship, McKenzie first earned the Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) designation by passing rigorous essay and objective examinations that assess knowledge of the broad scope of medical practice management, as outlined in the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management. This includes business operations, financial management, human resources management, information management, organizational governance, patient care systems, quality management and risk management. To earn Fellowship, McKenzie submitted three case studies, [“Referral Development; Success in a Startup Specialty Practice”, “Managing Profitability in an Intensive Compliance Environment”, and “Physician Signatures, Medical Necessity, and Group Practice Compliance”], documenting the objectives and results of an investigation into a health-care management topic.

McKenzie’s multi-faceted experience has created a unique perspective on both the inner and outer workings of the country’s healthcare system. He received both his undergraduate degree in Healthcare Management and MBA from the University of Alabama.  With both AdvisorsMD and HESI, McKenzie consults and manages healthcare organizations on financial and operational issues, as well as assist them in meeting the challenges of a modern and rapidly changing healthcare environment. In addition to managing his professional career, McKenzie has been successful in keeping his family a top priority and staying involved with his community.
