NAMAS

What NAMAS does

NAMAS (National Alliance of Medical Auditing Specialists) is a Knoxville, Tennessee-based medical auditing education and compliance services firm founded in 2007 and operating as a division of DoctorsManagement, LLC. The company serves medical practices, healthcare facilities, physicians, coders, and auditors across the United States (and select international engagements) through two integrated business lines: professional auditing services and training/credentialing programs. NAMAS holds exclusive status as the only AAPC-approved CPMA (Certified Professional Medical Auditing) exam preparation trainer, a structural credential monopoly in its core market.

The firm's product portfolio comprises six specialized boot camps (Medical Auditing, E&M/CEMA, Telehealth Auditor, Physician Educator, Surgical Auditor, and Risk-Adjustment), interactive workshops, webinars, a podcast, an annual in-person conference, and a virtual conference program, complemented by tiered membership subscriptions (Lite trial, Individual, Corporate) delivered through the ConnectPoint member portal. NAMAS performs 2,000+ unique coding and compliance audits annually for medical practices and facilities, and its trainers are dual-functioning practitioners who concurrently deliver consulting and auditing services, feeding real-time payer and regulatory intelligence back into curriculum design. Pricing spans $349 single-day conference passes, $499-$599 individual conference registrations, $1,495 corporate group rates, per-session customized training contracts, and recurring subscription memberships.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and multi-channel, combining direct enterprise engagement for organizational audits and customized training with a substantial content-marketing engine (226+ compliance blog posts, weekly email tips, social media on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/YouTube, webinars, podcast, and industry event presence including virtual booths at AAPC HealthCon and GMGMA). Revenue is diversified across training and education (professional services), recurring memberships (subscription), conference events (one-time), auditing services (professional services), and an e-commerce store, with membership discounts layered across all training and event pricing to drive funnel conversion.
