Self-Insured Businesses in Texas Can Now Save Money through Direct Contracting with Physician Group
Large primary care group with executive medicine affiliate now offers direct contracting with self-insured businesses, allowing a substantial saving in health care costs, while providing unsurpassed service.
Irving, TX (PRWEB via PR Web Direct)
July 21, 2005 -- Healthcare Associates of Irving, along with their affiliate
Executive Medicine of Southlake, is now offering direct contracting for
self-insured companies and organizations. The contracts include prepaid employee
health services and preventative care, discounted “after hours” diagnostic
imaging services, executive physicals, on-site health screenings, and health and
fitness talks.
Health care costs are rising and insurance companies are
profiting; therefore, physicians and employers are starting to seek other
avenues for providing health care benefits. Providers that offer a wide variety
of services can satisfy many of the needs of company health and wellness
programs at a lower cost. Healthcare Associates of Irving has implemented their
Corporate Health Services program which allows physicians to better focus on
quality patient care, while offering substantial savings to self-insured
companies.
Dr. Walter Gaman states, "This is a win-win situation. The
companies and organizations save substantially and the physicians are paid for
services. This keeps the larger insurance companies from profiting at both the
expense of the employee and the healthcare provider."
Healthcare
Associates of Irving offers primary care services which include diagnostic
imaging such as X-ray, Open MRI, CAT scan, Nuclear Medicine, and much more, all
at one convenient location. Affiliated with Healthcare Associates of Irving is
Executive Medicine of Southlake, an upscale office dedicated to the health and
wellness of executives. The two offices, together, offer an unsurpassed level of
services with a dedication to excellence.
Anita McCoy, Manager of
Corporate and Community Relations at Health Care Associates, elaborates,
"Corporate America needs more options to lower health care costs. I believe that
our Corporate Health Services program is part of the solution. I’m excited about
working with area businesses to custom design a quality health care delivery
system for their employees while improving benefit costs."
