TIPAAA recommends Sushoo HIE for it's IPA members!
Brevard County Fl – Sushoo Health Information Exchange continues to
gain praise from nationally recognized companies and organizations.
Sushoo has now gained recognition from The IPA Association of America
(TIPAAA).
“Sushoo is extremely happy to gain this endorsement from TIPAAA,” Said
Naveen Venkatachalam, “This particular recognition is very important to
Sushoo because we provide the vehicle to keep IPA’s complaint with
healthcare reform. Partnering with TIPAAA validates Sushoo’s
benefits to our IPA customers. This will allow us to show that we
are not trying to just sell them, but assist them in becoming compliant
with government mandates and assist with any plans to transform into
ACO’s”
Independent Practice Associations (IPAs) have been helping to assist
physicians with insurance contracts for some time now. However in
recent years IPAs have come under fire as the Federal Trade Commission
has accused the organizations of price fixing.
“Due to health care reform, simply representing a large group of
physicians is not enough to warrant higher reimbursement rates anymore,”
Said Albert Holloway president of TIPAAA.
The FTC is looking for these organizations to prove that their providers
are “clinically integrated.” This clinical integration will lead
to physicians working together to produce better patient care and
outcomes while also managing patient care in a less costly way to the
insurance companies thus warranting higher reimbursement rates.
“We have been working very closely with the FTC to provide our IPAs with
the most recent and accurate information. Our organizations look
to us because we are getting the most recent guidelines from the FTC
itself,” Said Holloway.
One of the most stringent guidelines set in place by the FTC is the
implementation of an HIE. Health information exchange is one of
the key components to clinical integration. HIE provides the
vehicle for physicians to efficiently and effectively share information
over the internet and remain HIPPA complaint.
“IPA’s need a way to prove clinical integration, Sushoo is not only one
of the most recognized, but also the most affordable solution on the
market,” Said Venkatachalam.
“The ease and affordability of the program is why we were so eager to
endorse this company as an associate partner of TIPAAA. We will
feel confident that any TIPAAA member who implements Sushoo will not
only gain a fantastic tool but also have money left over to remain in
business,” Said Holloway.
