Working With Ameritox

Ameritox offers this easy five-step process to integrate medication monitoring into your practice. While the five steps are essentially the same for every practice, some procedures can be customized to better meet your specific needs.

Our goal is to avoid interrupting your workflow, while providing you with complete account set-up and training on all aspects of monitoring. Your Ameritox Account Manager will provide guidance to your staff to ensure that all facets of the monitoring process are running smoothly and efficiently.

• Your dedicated Account Manager will work with the key decision makers in your practice to assist you in determining your pain medication monitoring needs for all existing and new patients.
• We will provide any information necessary for you to select Monitoring Panels based on your needs and complete all start-up paperwork.
• A “Welcome Kit” will arrive with everything you need to begin monitoring.

Step 2: Kick-off Meeting
