RE: Re: Three Rivers Provider Network TRPN

[Guest guest]

Welcome to Corporate America's way of doing business . . . outsourcing.

We have run into this situation with a few groups - Alignetworks, Universal

Comp, Heartland . . . apparently some worker's compensation insurance companies

have determined it is cost-effective to replace adjusters, case managers, etc.

with a company that will call to schedule the patient, follow-up (nearly every

day) on the patient's attendance and progress, and cut our fees even more than

we've already had to cut them just to be able to provide services to patients we

were already getting anyway.

These types of " services " are going to hurt facilities with their ability to

direct patient care at a bargain rate.

Re: Three Rivers Provider Network TRPN

I just got a fax for a W-9 to be faxed to TRPN, however, in the 2 nd page

was an agreement to accept 75% of billed charges. I thought it was very

sneaky, however, does this group have any +ve experience with TRPN? or are

we going to the same road as MEDRISK?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.
