The Chairman's Corner
Marketing Update
Dear PHP Physician,
The successful operation of our Plan
depends on your following certain
procedures. These procedures relate to:
• precertification of hospital admissions and out-patient surgery
• mental health referrals
• referrals to non-participating
specialists/faci lities
• extension of hospitalization without
medical j unification
To date, PHP has been lenient in
enforcing the policies in order to give
physicians a chance to get accustomed to
the system. However, with our membership increasing and Plan utilization
increasing, the guidelines adopted by the
Board of Directors will be enforced.
Please review the procedures and the
accompanying penalties for failure to
comply with the Board policies.
Encourage your office staffs to review the
Physicians Administrative Manual and
call ihe office if you have questions. We
appreciate your understanding and
compliance.
Sincerely,
W. Harrison Turner, III
Chairman, Board of Directors
