A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is a health-care system that provides services to members at a discount or fixed fee. As a result of the discounts agreed to by participating (preferred) providers, charges for medical services are lower. The lower charges save money for members, who also avoid filing claims because providers file the claims with USAble Administrators.

To receive discounts and to have claims filed by providers, members must seek treatment from PPO-contracted physicians or facilities.

USAble Administrators offers participation in the USAble Mutual Connect PPO to self-funded employer groups. However, a group may choose to access a different network arrangement.

How USAble Mutual Connect PPO Works

USAble Mutual Connect PPO, a preferred provider organization offered by USAble Corporation, is open to any doctor or hospital in Arkansas meeting the standards established by the network. USAble Mutual Connect PPO assists employers in controlling health-care costs by providing a network of doctors and hospitals that have agreed to discount their fees.

Through this statewide network of participating providers, employers are able to gain access to more attractive pricing arrangements and better management of claim costs. Balanced with proper utilization management, USAble Mutual Connect PPO can help control not only the price of healthcare, but how effectively health-care services are delivered.

Simply put, USAble Mutual Connect PPO obtains price discounts from providers, which are then passed along to your company and your employees. Patients retain their choice of health-care providers, with built-in incentives for choosing providers within the network.
