A&G
Healthcare Services has evolved from a niche cost
containment vendor to a full service benefit
cost management company with emphasis on
PPO access management and providing services
as a PPO access intermediary.
In the early days A&G served as an outlet for multiple location employers who did not have access to traditional managed care outlets. In the process of developing this service, A&G created relationships with local, regional and national PPO networks from around the country. Having built such a large infrastructure, A&G needed to diversify its product service base to “feed” the network arrangements that had been completed.
A&G clients had a common complaint, which was the lack of methodology to achieve “managed care” or PPO discounts when employees (insureds) were confined or sought service outside the geographical parameters of the “primary” healthcare network. Having experience in small volume multi-locationed services, A&G felt that filling this need was a natural extension of its services and developed |

its “out-of-area” product complete with patient identification and provider notification.
PPO+PLUS
combines A&G’s manage-ment and intermediary
network services (primary PPO network) with its
developed “out-of-area” product into
one universal combined savings machine; the single
source solution. All of these services are managed
by a state-of-the-art high speed processing system,
Mars 2.0. The robust technology in this system
is Internet enabled, fully HIPAA
compliant and EDI ready. A&G’s PPO+PLUS
will help lower the cost of claims processing
while delivering a seamless result. A&G and
MARS 2.0 have attained the status of an official
re-pricing center for many of the nation’s
largest and most respected PPOs. Since A&G
does not work exclusively with any one PPO, it
can help select the best fit for you and your
client groups. PPO+PLUS is a program of
choice; selecting those networks that improve
managed care services and successfully administer
solutions to improve healthcare delivery and reduce
healthcare costs. One plan to manage access to
healthcare coverage for all employees home or
away, business or pleasure.
