Podiatry Plan has an established group of more than 400 podiatrists in California,
Nevada and Hawaii. Our intimate knowledge of podiatric medicine enables
us to select and credential the very finest professionals who are dedicated
to the plan's principals of offering the highest quality care at reasonable
rates.
Continuous participation of doctors is based on strict peer review, comprehensive
quality assurance systems, and annual evaluations and on site visits.
Podiatry Plan includes a utilization control program with pre-certification
of surgery and hospitalization. We perform 100% claims review. This program
severely limits, if not eliminates, unnecessary hospitalization while encouraging
outpatient procedures. The utilization program is also designed to limit
under-utilization within our capitation system.
Our management information systems enable the insurers to control podiatry
costs, to make more informed medical care decisions and to predict future
costs. These systems and procedures mean greater administrative efficiency
for both the insurers and providers. (See Table
