Group
PPG to Offer Groundbreaking The Prevention Plan to Employers

DALLAS, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Preventive Medicine,
(http://www.USPreventiveMedicine.com), the leader in disease prevention, and
Physicians Planning Group (PPG) announced today they have formed a strategic
alliance that will give PPG employee benefit brokers the ability to offer U.S.
Preventive Medicine's groundbreaking prevention program to employers.
Physicians Planning Group (PPG), an Atlanta-based employee benefits, health
insurance and financial planning consultancy, will also offer The Prevention
Plan(TM) to its network of physicians.
The Prevention Plan(TM) is a groundbreaking new health management program
for employers. Using robust technology and thorough lab work, The Prevention
Plan(TM) identifies the top five risks for an employee and then provides a
physician review and customized, step-by-step plan to help them lower their
personal risks. It's private, secure and completely portable. The Prevention
Plan(TM) is supported with RN coaching, web tutorials, reminders and reward
programs designed to change behavior to improve health.
"Our network of benefit broker colleagues and physicians support the goals
of The Prevention Plan because the program makes it possible for individuals
to assess their health status, ascertain their top health risks, receive a
customized plan and ongoing personal attention to lower those risks, and
become healthier," says John E. Redfearn III, Managing Partner, Physicians
Planning Group. "We are very impressed with The Prevention Plan and are
excited about a prevention platform and process that strengthens the
physician-patient relationship and helps individuals focus on more of their
own good years."
U.S. Preventive Medicine also will provide The Prevention Plan CM(TM), its
chronic care management program that improves health outcomes and reduces
expensive healthcare costs of individuals with existing medical issues. Other
services are available through The Center for Preventive Medicine(R) and The
Preventive Network(TM), which offers high-tech, early detection screening
programs with affiliated physician groups, hospitals and health systems.
"We are excited to join forces with Physicians Planning Group to help curb
rising health care costs by giving people the tools they need to stay healthy
and productive," says Christopher T. Fey, Chairman & CEO of U.S. Preventive
Medicine. "Our program will help improve health outcomes while reducing health
care costs by lowering the number of hospital admissions, inappropriate
emergency use and inappropriate medication usage, while providing education
and support to improve participant adherence to medical treatment regimens."
