The Phia Group, LLC announces its strategic alliance with Advanced Medical Pricing Solutions (AMPS)

March 17, 2008 – Advanced Medical Pricing Solutions (AMPS) and The Phia Group, LLC are pleased to announce a strategic alliance of their organizations, increasing the value of services provided by both organizations. By combining AMPS’ medical bill review (MBR) services with The Phia Group’s insurance claim recovery and subrogation services, the value of both AMPS cost containment solutions and The Phia Group’s claim recovery services is increased.

“The Phia Group’s healthcare specific legal acumen ads a substantial and important dimension to AMPS’ bill review services,” said Mike Dendy, President and CEO of AMPS. “AMPS often finds significant overcharges by hospitals in our review of their billings. Phia works in concert with us to protect both the payer and the employee/member from any negative pushback that might be received from the hospital or PPO in conjunction with our findings”, continued Dendy.

“We at The Phia Group are extremely excited about the alliance with AMPS,” states Adam V. Russo, Esq., co-founder of The Phia Group. “Our arrangement will create unique savings opportunities for our clients. With AMPS’ services and technology, our clients will now have the ability to gain additional reductions in claims costs.”
