CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Medical Marketing Corporation (PMMC), a leading provider of reimbursement monitoring systems, announced that Boston-based Brigham and Women's Physicians Organization has signed an agreement to incorporate PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO to help with maintenance of its contractual agreements with payers.
PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO assists provider organizations to monitor the terms of third party payer contracts. In turn, this PMMC software service helps identify underpayments, improve overall contract performance, and enable business process improvements.
Brigham and Women's Physicians Organization consists of approximately 900 physicians, 16 clinical departments and 50 medical and surgical specialty areas. The physician group serves as the faculty practice plan for the 725-bed Brigham and Women's Hospital, which is consistently ranked among the top hospitals nationwide and is a major teaching facility for Harvard Medical School.
"The BWPO is excited to add the PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO to our existing cache of revenue cycle resources," said Kevin Bargon, revenue manager for Brigham and Women's Physicians Organization. "We have made substantial investments to enhance our front end processing to ensure that we collect and submit accurate and timely billing information to our third party payers. PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO will help us on the back end of the claims process to confirm that we are reimbursed according to our agreements and to help us recover underpayments when they occur. In addition, we expect the PHYSICIAN PRO system to greatly enhance our reporting capabilities," he added.
Such reporting enhancements provide greater detail on contract payment compliance and also help physicians to identify trends in both specific and general contractual terms, which can be useful during negotiations with third party payers.
PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO utilizes Microsoft Rapid Development Tools and a robust database platform, Microsoft SQL Server, for an integrated business solution to help healthcare providers monitor reimbursement under today's complex payer contractual arrangements. PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO provides a clear understanding of how claims should be paid when billed and identifies over and underpayments from the payer.
