Turning Assessment Into Action 
Overdose deaths in the most recently recorded data were so high that they contributed to a decrease in overall life expectancy in the U.S. for the third year in a row, depressing the average to 78.6 years. Chronic Pain is the fastest rising cost of healthcare in the country. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans have some type of chronic pain, yet only 17% of patients report their chronic pain to their primary care physicians.

At AGX-AMI we have created the country’s first truly integrated approach to managing patients with chronic pain. Through AMI’s proprietary algorithms, the ICPP unmasks the hidden costs for patients suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic neck and back pain.

After this population is accurately risk adjusted and identified, the program is proven to reduce cost and improve the mental and physical quality of life in both commercial and Medicaid populations across the country.

AGX-AMI’s ICPP is embraced by both state and federal legislative bodies. AGX-AMI is the first integrative medicine company to receive waivers granted by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide federally approved reimbursement for massage therapy, acupuncture, nutritional counseling and pharmaceutical consulting.
