OhioHealth Group has created the infrastructure to support its owned networks and products, as well as third party contracts.
Together, working through OhioHealth Group, The Medical Group of Ohio and OhioHealth Corporation are contracting with third party payors to improve utilization, quality and/or cost.
The integration of physicians and hospitals brings significant efficiencies to OhioHealth Group's customers - the employers who utilize OHG's PPO and Pharmacy Benefit Management products and the third party payors who contract with its physician and hospital network. This integration allows for active and ongoing programs to evaluate and modify practice patterns to achieve the end result of improving the delivery of care and/or improving the health status of the population of patients we collectively serve.
PHO advantages include:
- Reduced administrative/contracting costs for payors
- Assistance to payors in providing education, communication and intervention with physicians and/or physician offices to address payment and/or policy issues.
