Successes

Central Pennsylvania Physicians has been instrumental in helping its clients stabilize and manage their medical malpractice insurance.

Here is what our clients are saying about their success with the program:

  1. J. Paul Lyet, M.D ., Lancaster Orthopedic Group - "The Central Pennsylvania Physicians has done a great job of thwarting our malpractice costs and the expectation is for that to continue. Their proactive approach has allowed us to stay low risk."
  2. Gregory W. Otte, DO, FACOI, Elmwood Center Medical Associates, PC - "The Central Pennsylvania Physicians Risk Retention Group service has been excellent. We have had all our questions answered promptly and courteously. I especially appreciate the "risk" aspect of the program. Elizabeth Pearsall, RN was delightful, educational and informative. Her suggestions were helpful and reasonable. This has been a new and exciting approach to malpractice coverage and a welcome change from the past."
  3. Clifford A. Reed, M.D., Neurology – "Central Pennsylvania Physicians appears to be an excellent organization from top to bottom. Starting with my first contact to my recent attendance at one of their educational seminars, every aspect of the group is top notch. I feel very fortunate to be insured by Central Pennsylvania Physicians".
  4. Deron Schriver, Administrator, The Women's Healthcare Group - "Central Pennsylvania Physicians is an outstanding organization with a great approach to risk management. The resources they provide have helped us become more proactive in managing risk. Our premiums are well below the other carriers that we've contacted in the past."
  5. Malik Momin, M.D., Susquehanna Valley Pain Management, PC - "We have been very pleased with our three-year association with CPPRRG. The customer service has been excellent and our premiums have been unbeatable. Thank you!"
  6. Cathie W. Lentz, Practice Manager, Elmwood Center Medical Associates, PC - "CPPRRG, Inc. has provided many practice management tools that have allowed us to take a hard look at how and why we do things. That process brings the doctors and staff to a new appreciation of the patient's view of our procedures and protocols."
  7. Mona Engle, Doctors May-Grant Associates - "CPPRRG has demonstrated it's value, not only in cost savings for our practie, but in the proactive stance it takes in risk-reduction education. It has helped to make our practice become more sensitive to the many aspects involved in being a five-star practice."
  8. Christine Daecher, DO, Adult Medicine & Aesthetics, LLC - "The amount of support from CPPRRG as amazing - excellent lectures, immediate assistance with any legal questions, very accessible legal experts."
  9. Kathy Herman, Practice Manager, York Plastic Surgery Associates, Ltd. - "In addition to the significant cost savings associated with membership in the risk retention group, our practice has experienced a great benefit from the pro-active staff training we have received. Each time our staff and / or physicians attend a seminar sponsored by CPPRRG, we come away with a new awareness of the importance of patient interactions and office policies designed to enhance patient satisfaction, thus inherently reducing risk exposure."
  10. Kunkel Surgical Group - "Our practice joined the CPPRRG in March 2006, after over 40 years with another carrier. The move to CPPRRG was primarily fueled by our increasing malpractice premiums every year, but we were also influenced by the exclusive physician ownership and the strong administrative support team of Murray Insurance Associates and Stevens & Lee. Their proactive approach to event management provides our practice with all the essential tools for a safe and healthy physician / patient relationship."
  11. Dennis J. Hertz, Administrator, OB-GYN of Lancaster - "OB-GYN of Lancaster has enjoyed premium savings for several years now. When I hear from other OBGYN practice managers of the high premiums they pay, it is easy for me to refer them to Murray Insurance and CPPRRG. The CPPRRG policies regarding disability (unfortunately) have been a major expense savings to our practice. In addition, Norm Lutz and Tom Flinchbaugh have been very supportive of our physicians and midwives as we have made changes within the practice. Your service has been outstanding!"

    "The CPPRRG's risk-management services have been proactive in dealing with our practice. Ryan Betz and Brian Owen (from Murray) and Maggie Finkelstein (Stevens & Lee) continue to impress me with their pursuit of every detail and follow up. Dr. Kegel has frequently attributed the very successful out performance of the loss reserves to these risk management activities."

    "Most important to our group is that we will not be threatened with a short notice loss of malpractice coverage, which happened to our group despite our very good malpractice history before we joined the CPPRRG. This is one risk I have no worries about."

    "Thank you for the continued success of the program!"
  12. Calcagno and Rossi Vein Treatment Center, LLC - "CPPRRG was very helpful when we began the Calcagno and Rossi Vein Treatment Center, LLC. I had been previously with another carrier, but CPPRRG rates were significantly lower - more importantly, CPPRRG came to our new office and reviewed our policies and procedures, making suggestions for improvement; I had never had a carrier that was so proactive - as you know, it is far more important to avoid a suit than to struggle through one, not matter what the outcome."
  13. Joanne Cochran, President & CEO, Keystone Physician Services and Keystone Rural Health Center - "I am pleased with all aspects of my relationship with Central PA Physicians. Your staff could not be more helpful and gracious. They are highly knowledgeable and response to questions and concerns is immediate. You have saved me money in my premiums and you offer excellent, on-target, risk-management services (in fact, because of the recommendations you gave us in our assessment, we were able to get our Echo accreditation on the first attempt) and your educational programs are worth attending. I am greatly satisfied, and I have made some wonderful new friends in the process. I am grateful that I have you on my side."
  14. Pat Ford, Practice Administrator, Lebanon Internal Medicine Associates - "Lebanon Internal Medicine joined CPPRRG January 2008. I found their team to be very attentive and able to answer all my questions. As we all have seen the declining rate of reimbursement, we find ourselves looking in areas to cut cost. Joining CPPRRG was a cost savings of 30% and included more benefits then the company we used previously. We are looking forward to a good working relationship with CPPRRG."
