Palmetto Primary Care Physicians

Private practices play a vital role in not only making healthcare accessible to patients, but also creating a healthy competitive market. For over 27 years, Palmetto Primary Care Physicians (PPCP) has proudly provided physicians throughout South Carolina, an alternative to joining a hospital system.

As the largest independent multi-specialty group in the state, we have over 140 medical providers throughout 42+ offices with a wide range of expertise in primary and specialty care. Our support team extends well beyond the walls of our physicians’ offices, as we employ more than 500 clinical and non-clinical team members.

How have we created a reputation for high-quality outcomes, sustained a healthy profit margin and catapulted our physician-owned group into a key player in South Carolina’s healthcare market, all while remaining INDEPENDENT?

We’ve developed a business model for high-performing physician owned practices that promotes autonomy and flexibility when it comes to practicing medicine.   

Our physicians:

• Receive Administrative Support: Whether it’s assistance with medication prior authorizations, transition care management, financial statements or marketing efforts – our physicians have access to teams of professionals that will work on their behalf to help offload strenuous day-to-day tasks and move their practice forward.
• Benefit from Additional Income Opportunities: In a state of declining fee-for-service rates, our focus on quality-based outcomes and intimate knowledge of shared cost-savings opportunities translates to additional streams of revenue through metric-based bonus programs. *Select bonus programs are also available to other office team members, ie. front desk & medical assistants   
• Hold Negotiating Leverage when it comes to Payer Contracts: As the largest and top Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in South Carolina, our physicians receive the best contractual private pay rates due to our size, proven quality performance, and well-established relationships with insurance payers.
• Extend their Care for patients outside of the clinic by leveraging our Support Services: Our physicians can help increase compliance among patients with health initiatives by referring them to FREE Health & Wellness classes, including: Hypertension, Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Weight Loss & Healthy Eating and Smoking Cessation.  Additionally, patients have access to Health & Wellness experts, such as Registered Dietitians, Pharmacists and licensed Behavioral Health Specialists.
• Advance their Career: Quarterly provider trainings allow our physicians to stay current on the latest evidence-based guidelines and focus on relevant issues affecting patient care.  For physicians with an entrepreneurial spirit, opportunities to join the partnership and invest in the growth of the organization are available. *Physicians must meet financial and quality-based metrics for Partnership track

 

If you are seeking to join an organization that is leading the way in clinical care, while remaining free of the constraints of hospital-based systems – we hope you will consider learning more about PPCP and our proven business model. 

I would be more than happy to schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss how joining PPCP may benefit you. I can be reached at 803-391-1111.
