Private Practice Doctors, LLC (PPD) is a unique organization created by physicians for physicians to maintain the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. In order for the private practice physician to continue to exist, office expenses must be lowered. Physicians were trained to heal, not to analyze merchant account rates and employee benefit costs. To that end, PPD is offering four programs and partnerships that may begin to alleviate fiscal stress. The following solutions are currently available: group purchasing, employee health insurance, electronic medical records, and banking. In its quest for excellence, PPD researched, met with principals, and evaluated multiple vendors within each of these sectors. As a result, we are able to present you with a solution that we believe will maximize your savings, allowing your practice to thrive. Private Practice Doctors has unique contracts with major companies that allow the private practice physician entrée into levels of discounts usually only available to large entities. In many cases, we are the only group of independent physicians to be allowed these rates. We have special contracts on medical supplies, office supplies, vaccines and pharmaceuticals. We have discounted rates on almost everything your office uses to function. Private Practice Doctors, LLC (PPD) is partnering with Bank of America to provide its members with the most cost effective banking solutions available. We chose Bank of America because they have a designated business division with aggressive lending practices that cater to healthcare professionals, a robust on-line banking platform and outstanding local and regional customer service. PPD members are eligible for deeply discounted merchant rates for credit card transactions. They enjoy a low, flat monthly fee for a business banking package that consists of the ability to maintain low account balances, high limit business credit cards, customized lending for doctors, free check scanning services, retirement planning and wealth management, preferred customer personal banking relationships and employee banking with rebates. We believe that this combination of truly remarkable services, particularly the low monthly flat rate fee and the almost unheard of low merchant banking rates, will result in a significant cost savings. After extensive research, Private Practice Doctors, LLC (PPD) selected an EMR that fits the needs of private practitioners across the full spectrum of medical specialties. Our chosen partner for electronic medical record (EMR) solutions is MD Synergy Solutions, LLC. We evaluated over 25 EMR providers, taking into account reliability, ease of use, connectivity and expandability. MD Synergy Solutions, LLC, a healthcare technology and services company based locally in Woodland Hills, provides a customizable electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM), patient portal, eRx, and EDI (clearinghouse) through a cloud-based system that is accessible anytime from anywhere.
