TRISTAR NETWORK OR PPO ACCESS

TRISTAR accesses various networks and has the ability to develop a network for our clients that serve to drive higher penetration rates and higher savings. Many of our inpatient facilities have HMO discounts that are the deepest discounts available. In addition to a national network of medical providers and facilities, TRISTAR provides access to a Durable Medical Equipment, Radiology, and Pharmacy Network. Our networks may be accessed via the Internet, and information regarding providers can be given to the client members. Bill Review and PPO Network Access reports are given to the client that demonstrate to the client the billed charges, fee schedule reductions, PPO Discounts, penetration and utilization statistics.

With providers who focus on occupational medicine, chiropractic, neurology, orthopedics, psychiatry, podiatry, dentistry, physical therapy, and acupuncture, our network providers have been specifically selected with input from employers, claims, and medical professionals. All providers have a background in Workers’ Compensation and disability management. This network of “primary treating physicians” and ancillary providers for diagnostic and physical medicine support continues to grow in size, geographic availability, and in TMC’s commitment to improve the custom built and high quality nature of the TMC medical delivery system.

In addition, TMC has additional access to a large, national network of providers and facilities to compliment its primary physician network; both through direct contracting of additional providers and facilities and the exclusive distribution of TMC provider networks. This group of providers is supported by TMC’s medical management systems and available as its TMC network. And, to better serve its customers, TMC has strategic alliances and/or lease arrangements with national networks that maintain a Workers’ Compensation specialty component that makes up the TMC PPO network.

TMC’s “mosaic” of PPO networks has over 651,000 unique provider and hospital locations throughout the United States.
