CSA Joins Private Healthcare Systems

PPO Network

Employee benefits administrator expands member access to quality providers

 

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Corporate Systems Administration (CSA) Inc., an employee benefits administrator and management firm, hopes to reduce costs to employers through its new affiliation with Private Healthcare Systems (PHCS) Network.

 

PHCS is the largest proprietary preferred provider organization (PPO) in the United States.  The company has nearly 450,000 providers and more than 4,000 facilities in its network.  The company provides premier network and care management services to insurance companies, managed care organizations, self-insured employers and third-party administrators, including CSA. 

 

“By accessing the PHCS Network, CSA will be able to cut costs for employers and their members,” says Tom Repass, CEO of CSA.

 

“PHCS has a rigorous credentialing program for providers and a high network retention rate,” says Knapp.  “That’s important because health plan members don’t want to change doctors.”

 

CSA, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Johnson City, works with employers throughout the Southeastern United States, including companies in Nashville, Tenn., Dalton, Ga., Roanoke, Va., Asheville, N.C., and the Tri-Cities region in Tennessee and Virginia.  CSA helps companies offer affordable health care coverage by providing benefits analysis, medical management, access to quality healthcare providers and member education.

 

CSA services include personal health management, risk management, predictive modeling, benefit package design and expert administration.  The company also implements and administers a full menu of employee benefits such as dental, vision, prescription drug cards, disability, life insurance plans, disease management and COBRA.

 

CSA uses state-of-the-art technology to automate claims processing from benefit plan design to claims payment.  CSA offers online services in areas such as benefit enrollment, claim status, benefit information and medical library.
