aIPAM was founded in 2005 as an affiliate of the National Association of Healthcare Access Management (NAHAM).  Many NAHAM members have organized Access groups within their states and have had great success in promoting education and leadership in the Patient Access Management area.  aIPAM intends to take a leadership role in Illinois and neighboring states to elevate the role of Access professionals in the healthcare industry.  We are over 75 members strong and growing!
