Preferred Therapy Providers Inc, Phoenix, a centrally-managed contracting and marketing resource for private practice physical, occupational, and speech therapy clinics, has announced that it has signed a Workers Compensation agreement with ClarisPointe in the state of Arizona.

ClarisPointe is based out of Irvine, Calif, and is a Workers Compensation Preferred Provider Organization offering cost containment services to payors and employers. ClarisPointe features a patient channeling mechanism called ClarisNetDirect that offers an online provider “look-up” for their clients. Their goal is to listen to their clients concerns and to provide innovative solutions that build long-term solutions by combining the best network providers with the unique needs of each individual customer. ClarisPointe strives to achieve the most appropriate network fit with the broadest penetration and the greatest financial impact, regardless of the payors or employers size and location.

Our relationship with ClarisPointe validates one of our goals to connect our private practice members to health plans that provide appropriate and effective workers compensation solutions, says Jaxene Hillebert, president of Preferred Therapy Providers. We continue to make strides in forging these associations because of their value to our private practice members.
