Eight steps, fully guided.
From the first conversation to your first payment through Atlas — you always know what comes next.
- 01
Initial meeting
We get to know your practice and you get to know Atlas — an open conversation about fit and goals.
- 02
Due diligence
Under mutual NDA and BAA, our team reviews your billing, financials, and operations, then details the specific benefits you can expect.
- 03
Committee approval
If both sides are satisfied, our membership committee formally reviews and extends an invitation to join.
- 04
Letter of intent
A letter of intent confirms mutual commitment while legal review proceeds, and lets credentialing and implementation begin.
- 05
Legal review
You and your attorney review and sign the operating agreement joinder and management services acknowledgment.
- 06
Credentialing
We submit your credentialing application to our payers. Credentialing typically takes 30 to 90 days depending on the payer.
- 07
Implementation
We stand up revenue cycle management, EHR transition, administrative services, and ancillary services for your practice.
- 08
Payment & reporting
We bill, collect, and distribute payments on a bi-monthly basis with detailed monthly reporting and quarterly ancillary profit sharing.
The scale of a system. The independence of your own practice.
Atlas was built by physicians and a leading health system to solve the exact problems independent practices face — without the trade-offs of being acquired.
You keep ownership and autonomy
Join as a member and retain ownership of your practice. Each physician manages their own care center, staff, and patients — Atlas handles everything around it.
Backed by a leading NJ health system
Formed in collaboration with one of New Jersey's largest health systems, Atlas brings the scale, contracts, and credibility of a major system to independent practices.
Aligned, compliant profit sharing
Our group-practice structure creates Stark-compliant opportunities to share in ancillary and value-based revenue — aligning incentives without compromising compliance.
A true supergroup, not a sale
Atlas is a supergroup that delivers the advantages of scale while preserving the independence physicians value. Your former practice entity stays intact as your asset holding company.
Everything physicians ask before joining.
Atlas is a New Jersey multi-specialty medical group operating as a 'supergroup,' formed in 2019 in collaboration with a leading New Jersey health system. Physicians who join become members and receive membership units while retaining ownership and autonomy over their own practice.
Atlas operates under one taxpayer identification number, made up of separate 'care centers' — each a satellite office run by its physician members. Atlas bills all professional services under its TIN, and each member receives the revenue from their care center, less that center's expenses and a management fee.
No. You bill your services through Atlas to access our payer contracts, but your former practice entity remains in existence as a holding company for the assets your care center uses — offices, equipment, computers, furniture, and leases.
Once we begin billing for your services, we collect from payers and distribute payments to you on a bi-monthly basis, net of care-center expenses and the management fee, with detailed monthly accounting. Profits from the specialty & ancillary pool are shared quarterly.
Yes. Members may terminate with four months' advance notice. The restrictive covenant generally applies only to physicians leaving for a hospital or large practice (more than 10 physicians); most members returning to their own practice are not subject to it. Please review the operating agreement with your attorney.
The path runs from an initial meeting through due diligence, approval, legal review, credentialing (typically 30–90 days per payer), and implementation. Timelines vary by practice and payer; we map a clear schedule with you at the letter-of-intent stage.
