Referral Patterns

Blog 8/22/2011

As PDA prepares for the kickoff of its Flagship Community Health Program, we have a timely opportunity for a reminder about referral patterns.

PDA is about adding value.  A basic way to make that happen is patient referrals within our group.  We have great practitioners in every specialty and most geographic areas of service. It is in our interest, as we seek the best managed care contracts, to be a band of colleagues that support each other.  Action does speak so much louder than words.  Healthcare is a local enterprise.  By focusing on community-oriented referrals, PDA physicians can multiply their impact on their patients’ welfare.

Emphasizing PDA patient referrals to PDA physicians, we can significantly increase the income of our members.  As you prepare to make referrals, feel free to contact the PDA office for the names, locations and contact information of member physicians in the desired specialty.  PDA continues to build on its core IPA functions as we grow and expand.
