Our Story

Built on three decades of doing this work — and doing it right.

Atlas Managed Care was founded on the belief that managed care should be personal, accountable, and genuinely focused on outcomes.

Why Atlas

The weight of the work matters to us.

We named our company Atlas because we understand what it means to carry something — to take on the complexity of a demanding system so our clients and their employees don't have to.

Transparency

You always know what we're doing and why. No black boxes, no surprise charges, no runarounds. Every decision we make on your behalf is one we can explain and stand behind.

Accountability

We don't measure success by activity — we measure it by outcomes. When you engage Atlas Managed Care, you get a partner who is accountable for results, not just effort.

Advocacy

We never forget there's a person at the center of every claim. Injured workers deserve an advocate, and employers deserve a partner who shares that belief.


Leadership

David Kim — Founder & Chief Executive Officer

David Kim brings more than 30 years of California workers' compensation managed care experience to Atlas Managed Care — not as a title, but as a life's work. Over the course of his career, he has built deep expertise across every major discipline in the managed care landscape: medical bill review, nurse case management, utilization review, Health Care Organizations, Medical Provider Networks, PPO network contracting, and lien defense.

What sets David apart isn't just what he knows — it's who he is. Colleagues describe him as a transformational leader who leads with integrity, earns trust over time, and shows up with the same commitment whether the client is a Fortune 500 employer or a single injured worker trying to navigate a complicated system. That reputation has earned him long-standing relationships with some of California's most recognized employers and claims administrators.

David founded Atlas Managed Care on a simple but powerful belief: that injured workers deserve an advocate in their corner, and that employers deserve a managed care partner who is accountable for outcomes — not just activity. Atlas Managed Care is the culmination of three decades of experience, trusted relationships, and a clear vision for what managed care can look like when it's done right.
