Tom Ferkovic R.Ph.,M.S.
Tom was the CEO and founding partner of Medic Management Group, LLC. a national MSO and physician practice management and consulting firm. He is a leading expert in physician practice management, governance and strategy.
Originally a pharmacist and health care management professional, prior to starting the current MMG, Tom was President of the practice management firm Telesis of Ohio. Tom opened and grew the company to 123 employees and 185 primary care physicians managing risk based contracts and networks (now known as Value Based Care). Prior to Telesis, he served as the vice president of St. Luke’s Medical Center in Cleveland, where he was responsible for strategic planning, managed care contracting, and physician relations, which led to the start of St. Luke’s Integrated Medical System (PHO) and Outreach Professional Systems — the first hospital-owned, non-staff primary care group practice in Cleveland.
In 1999, Tom and SS&G entered into the joint venture to form Medic Management Group, LLC. (Formerly known as SS&G Healthcare.), he inherited a few staff members and a small client base via a merger to get the company started. While the focus at the time was outsourced practice management services for small to mid-sized physician groups, he saw additional opportunities on the horizon. Today, Medic Management Group, LLC. has more than 140 employees who provide a variety of services, including outsourced physician practice management, compliance plan development, strategic planning, physician compensation consulting, contract negotiations, and accounts receivable management, and practice valuation. Medic Management Group, LLC. services clients in 26 states and works with over 2,000 physicians in their client practices.
He earned his master’s degree in information science from Case Western Reserve University and a Bachelor of Science in pharmacy from the University of Toledo.
