CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Medical Marketing Corporation (PMMC), a leading provider of reimbursement monitoring systems, announced today that Lewis-Gale Clinic, Melbourne Internal Medicine Associates, West Penn Allegheny Health System and Madrona Medical Group have signed agreements to implement PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO.
One of the biggest challenges for physician provider groups is managing complex health plan contracts, with each plan containing varying terms and fee schedules. PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO is a sophisticated software service that assists these organizations in monitoring these plans and accelerating cash recovery, improves overall contract performance, and identifies process improvements that create improved cash flow and optimize revenue. “PMMC is excited to partner with these excellent organizations and assist them in improving their overall contract management process and net reimbursements,” stated Roger Shaul, President of PMMC. “Our goal is to provide these physician groups with key information to help them recover accurate payments, improve business practices, and make future contract negotiations with payers more fact based.”
PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO utilizes Microsoft Rapid Development Tools and SQL Server for an integrated business solution to help healthcare providers monitor reimbursement under today’s complex payer contractual arrangements.
Healthcare providers operate in a unique situation where payers are responsible for determining reimbursement, and physicians often do not have the detailed understanding of the actual payment terms. This often leads to higher administrative cost, confusion and wariness. PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO offers a clear, concise understanding of how each claim should be paid at time of billing and identifies over and underpayments from the payer.
“Physicians need to audit their reimbursement, identify, and then recover underpayment that is owed to them according to the complex terms of their unique payer agreements. Their current systems and processes either do not accurately calculate this reimbursement or are too cumbersome for employees to use,” said Jim Hunter, Vice President of Business Development. “User friendly, financial decision support services and tools such as PMMC PHYSICIAN PRO are critical.”
PMMC, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is a Microsoft-certified software development and consulting company for over 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 issues.
