Hunt Memorial Hospital District Selects PMMC to Monitor Managed Care Contractual Reimbursement
Charlotte, NC, October 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Preferred Medical Marketing Corporation, a leading provider of automated reimbursement monitoring systems, announces that it has been selected by the Hunt Memorial Hospital District (HMHD), a political subdivision of the state of Texas for its hospitals known as Presbyterian Hospital of Greenville and Presbyterian Hospital of Commerce to model and audit its managed care contracts, through the use of PMMC Contract PRO. PMMC Contract PRO is a sophisticated software system that audits, analyzes and monitors contractual agreements for accurate reimbursement.
A champion to its motto, “Close to home. Far from ordinary”, Presbyterian Hospital of Greenville has just completed a major expansion project enlarging the facility to 195 beds. The additional 47 patient rooms are spacious and well appointed with flat screen TVs, sleeper sofas and private baths. The project also includes a comprehensive cancer treatment center. Presbyterian Hospital of Commerce has also undergone renovation of its emergency department, patient rooms and lobby area. HMHD has been fortunate to continue to grow and expand healthcare services to Hunt County area residents by providing dedicated, compassionate care. HMHD chose the services of PMMC which will assist with achieving their strategic growth.
PMMC Contract PRO is a SQL-based software application that allows clients to load complex reimbursement terms and methodologies, rates, and patient data. This tool stores all of these elements to calculate an Expected Reimbursement that, when compared to the Contractual Adjustment posted the payer, allows clients to determine correct payment processes. Additional benefits of PMMC Contract PRO include: reducing rework in the billing department, supporting billing departments overall efforts, reducing revenue cycles, increasing cash flow, and identifying improvements to the provider’s processes. PMMC Contract PRO offers a cost-effective, quick and systematic method to monitor contracts for optimal performance.
Problems with a previous vendor led Hunt Memorial Hospital District to search for a new contract management solution. Mary Pattberg, Director of Decision Support had this to say about their selection of PMMC Contract PRO: “During our search for a new tool, it quickly became apparent to us that PMMC Contract PRO provided a user friendly solution to analyzing Managed Care, Medicare and Medicaid payment compliance. Clearly, the firm of our choice was not just selling software, but was committed to assisting us so that the tool would be accurate and reflective of our contract terms and rates so we could resolve issues with incorrect reimbursement efficiently. Customer service was a high priority in choosing this vendor. PMMC worked with us to find the right solution for our needs in an affordable outsourcing arrangement.”
Chad Shields, Regional Vice President of Sales at PMMC remarked: “Our goal at PMMC is to always provide the right tools at the right price to our customers that demand a secure software program designed to assist them in analyzing their financial standing. By incorporating customer specific contract terms, rates, and patient data, the PMMC team is able to work with customers to achieve a comfort level of knowing their reimbursement is not only accurate but also is in line with financial expectations. We are proud to provide this service to our customers and look forward to Hunt Memorial Hospital District becoming a showcase customer.”
