CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Medical Marketing Corporation, a provider of software systems that help hospitals and physician groups monitor reimbursement, announced that Marietta Memorial Hospital of Marietta, Ohio, will use PMMC CONTRACT PRO to monitor and maintain its agreements with health insurers.
Marietta Memorial Hospital has a long tradition of providing quality service for residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The hospital consists of 204 beds staffed by 90 physicians representing about 40 specialties. The hospital is part of the Memorial Health System, and provides a full range of inpatient, outpatient, educational, and preventive services. PMMC CONTRACT PRO will assist Marietta Memorial Hospital to audit the terms of its contracts by checking and matching actual payments for services provided to expected reimbursement. In a recent national survey by the American College of Healthcare Executives, hospital CEOs identified reimbursement as their top challenge.
“We incorporated this software system to better understand our contractual agreements with payers and assist our patients to better understand their coverage,” said Karen Lines, payer reimbursement manager, Marietta Memorial Hospital. “Ultimately, the system will help us to recover underpayments as well, a benefit to the health of the organization and the community we serve.”
PMMC CONTRACT PRO uses Microsoft Rapid Development Tools and a robust database platform, Microsoft SQL Server, for an integrated business solution to help hospital business departments monitor reimbursement under today’s complex payer contractual arrangements. PMMC CONTRACT PRO provides a clear understanding of how claims should be paid when billed.
“Hospitals deserve fair, adequate and timely reimbursement for the services they provide,” said Greg Kay, PMMC VP. “Even though hospitals have sophisticated financial management systems, most hospitals find it difficult to obtain accurate definition of reimbursement and costs. Our goal is to help hospitals to get their arms around the reimbursement process so that they are paid for the services they provide. PMMC CONTRACT PRO is an excellent complementary application to Marietta’s Meditech Patient Accounting System.”
PMMC, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is a Microsoft-certified software development and consulting company for more than 300 hospitals and 10,000 physician clients. Founded in 1986, PMMC offers innovative financial applications for providers to cope with managed care and payer reimbursement.
