LESLIE COOPER, RN, NP-C

“PPS has been a godsend to me. I was a new NP and my training offered no experience on how to begin the process of credentialing. PPS takes all of your information, puts it in a data base; gets you credentialed and contracted very quickly. They have been quick with their responses and are like a dog with a bone following up with the insurance companies and CAQH. I recommend their service highly. Hope this helps and good luck!“

“PPS is absolutely great to work to with. They amazed me with their timeliness and efficiency. I cannot imagine how our practice would manage without them. I highly recommend PPS with no reservations.”

KEATING FAMILY MEDICINE, DAWSONVILLE, GA

“Andrew Eriksen was an absolute godsend to our practice. I had been working with Medicare for months to change our location information. Medicare had quit paying us due to a piece of returned mail. I contacted my local Congressman and my state Senator’s offices as well as a local consultant to no avail. In desperation I posted my problems on the MGMA list serve. Andrew offered his help and 11 days later I received my first Medicare check in the mail. I cannot say “Thank You” enough. I will definitely take advantage of his company’s services in the future.” – Barbara J. Smart, LPN, CMPE, Practice Manager, Keating Family Medicine, Dawsonville, GA

HEART AND VASCULAR HEALTH OF WEST TENNESSEE

“They have been incredible for our practice. First a little history, I was hired on as the financial officer for a 6 provider practice back middle of last year. One of my projects was to clean up our credentialing services. We had one employee that had learned how to credential on the fly, and it was getting overwhelming for her due to our rapid expansion. Real quick: I will tell you that I have minimal knowledge of this aspect of our business, but I realized we had an issue. I’m an accountant / administrator by trade.

Well, from the first day I spoke with Andrew I knew we had found something. He was willing to explain things to me knowing I had very little background in the field and helped me design a solution for our practice. We reached a decent understanding of where we were and where we were heading, and it’s been great since. One great commendation is that Andrew is great at answering phone calls / emails. We are both extraordinarily busy (I break the 65-70 hour week consistently), and he always finds a way to accommodate for me. Often he’ll chat with me after hours when I’m still at the office. I truly appreciate that about the service.

It truly is a pleasure to do business with him and the rest of the PPS crew. We have grown from six providers to well over a dozen, and PPS has taken care of us crossing all our T’s and dotting all of our I’s all the way. We’ve had doctors come and go, N.P.s come and go, and we’ve definitely thrown a lot of curves at PPS (we’ve changed out approximately 5 providers). We’re now at 13 providers and all of these changes were handled perfectly. Examples: we outsource billing and management to other smaller practices. Calypso Enterprises is a billing and management company that does financials and billing services for other clinics in our area and even in Chicago. Andrew helps us credential 3 other practices currently. Two of these are single provider practices that we handle. *small plug* We provide a big business feel to smaller practices. After what he’s cleaned up and found at our practice, we use them for our other clients. They really are that thorough and good. As our advisor, I consider Andrew an expert in this field.

More Examples: With those practices we’ve had tax ID code changes in the middle of the credentialing process. We had a medicare administrator change right as we were trying to get medicare numbers for 2 new doctors, and the new administrator was horrible about responding back to us. Andrew and PPS stayed on the lines and got this resolved as promptly as possible. We even networked Andrew in to our conversations with the Tennessee Medical Association. We had to file a complaint to get out numbers after all the work that Andrew had done for us. He provided dates, times, and errors made by our new administrator. It was awesome to watch him at work with that issue. I would consider us one of Andrew’s most difficult clients. Through it all, he still uses me as a reference, because truly they have not faltered no matter what kitchen sink we throw at them.

When Andrew first took over, he had to correct NPI / Medicare issues for us, and simply clean up a lot of things that we had no idea were not updated. This practice was in existence for 5 years without the assistance of PPS, and I have no idea how we continued to receive payments with some of the errors we found (address changes and ect.). Not only has PPS done everything that we need, but they’ve also made me look good for finding them. Andrew & PPS has been one of my best business “finds” and relationships. Andrew has been great, especially as I’ve transitioned from Financial Officer to C.O.O of our company. I truly use Andrew as an advisor for a lot more than credentialing. He’s an incredible resource.

I truly think their service, product, and business model is ideal for any practice. We’re mid-sized and have approximately 100 employees. They do a great job for us, and they do an incredible job for our smaller clients as well. We have client practices that have half a dozen employees and another that only has 3. For all services provided, I give PPS two thumbs up and a 10 out of 10. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

OLIVE BRANCH TESTIMONIAL

To whom it may concern:

My name is Polly DeVore. I am the Director of Olive Branch Family Health, Inc. We are a privately owned healthcare clinic. We opened in October 2010. I researched many credentialing / enrollment specialists and decided to go with Andrew Eriksen at Physician Practice Specialists. Andrew Eriksen and his team led us through and handled the CAQH process and enrollment/credentialing for us in a flawless and professional manner. We were very pleased with his team handling our CAQH process in addition to the credentialing/enrollment.

In addition to this, our experience with Andrew Eriksen and his team extended to a level that we really don’t know what we would have done without their experience and expertise.

Due to “cross-billing” in which a former Clinic and employer of a provider now in our clinic utilized said provider’s numbers and billed for dates of service after said provider’s contract and term of employment had ended. As a result of this, even though everything we had in place regarding the CAQH, credentialing and enrollment was correct, the issue of the other facility “terming” the provider with the payers obviously became the question. As I am sure you are aware, terming a provider is an act that only an individual with authorization under that particular Tax ID number can do. (Obviously, the provider had not been termed.) Because of this “cross-billing” that resulted from the other facility, Medicare froze all claims processing for our clinic. This resulted in a HUGE financial impact. I instantly contacted Andrew. It is important to note that when I became aware of what was transpiring it was late in the day on a Friday. Andrew responded immediately. He continued working through the mess with Medicare. Thanks to Andrew and his team all of our legitimate claims were sorted out from the claims that had been submitted inappropriately from the other facility. Andrew followed this nightmare closely for us until our claims were processed and funds processed. This was to the tune of $40,000.00.

As time has gone along, the Physician Practice Specialists team have been available to answer any question(s) and/or concerns that we have had. I can honestly say, “ we trust Andrew and his team implicitly.” We will continue to utilize their services for any additional providers we bring into our practice as well as any renewal issues we face in the future.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions regarding Physician Practice Specialists.

Warm Regards,

Polly DeVore

The Center for a Healthy Mind and Well-being – “PPS’ service was excellent. They helped start up our initial practice. Great communicators, and Andrew was always available. The customer service was excellent. The project was a large one, and since it was going well, we had him help us with our website as well. Their price was reasonable, considering the project took 2-3 months. We absolutely plan on hiring Andrew again and have referred others to him.” – Dr. Marcus De Carvalho
