Offers access to workers' compensation providers for third party administrators, managed care organisations

Rockport Healthcare Group, who manages a provider organisation (PPO) focused on workers’ compensation, has announced its network certification in the US state of Georgia.

Rockport offers access to workers’ compensation providers for third party administrators, managed care organisations, employers and carriers looking to control rising healthcare costs related to the treatment of workplace injuries.

The state of Georgia developed their guidelines for work comp PPO networks after an intensive study of the needs of employers, including accessibility to a suite of qualified providers and specialists.

Doug Markham, COO of Rockport, said: “With just a handful of companies willing to commit the time and resources to become certified, our customers recognised that the addition of another certified network would bring new options, increased flexibility and competition, and ultimately help improve the quality of the work comp market in the state.”
