Texas Office in Philadelphia Biz Journal
Friday, January 2, 2009 | By John George, Staff Writer,Philadelphia Business Journal
Southampton, Pa.-based WellNet Healthcare is expanding out West by opening an office in San Antonio. Led by Texas native Dr. Dan Van Ackeren, the new office will provide services to businesses in Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana and New Mexico. WellNet, founded in 1994, designs, implements and administers employer-sponsored health benefits including prescription drug coverage … Pottstown Memorial Medical Center opened a wound healing center. Drs. Benjamin Eskra and Dennis Montiero, plastic surgeons on staff at Pottstown Memorial, are serving as co-medical directors of the center … Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro invested $35,000 in an OB simulator, the Noelle S575 made by Gaumard Scientific, to better prepare and educate physicians, nurses and other staff members on how to manage rare but life-threatening labor and delivery scenarios. The simulator is comprised of a mannequin of a pregnant woman and a newborn connected to a motorized system that can create standardized and unique delivery-related scenarios. Lourdes Health System plans to expand the use of the simulator to Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden early this year.

"
Point to Point's Active Reporting system is highly informative on a real-time basis and has helped me save $238,000."

"For the first time, we’re catching problems before they become catastrophic. WellNet’s the type of partner that’s proving that they’re able to drive down medical costs."

"We were confident that we would save money with WellNet and we liked their service model, what we did not know was how much they were willing to dig in and drive the process for us."

"
We have saved $850,000 by using WellNet’s Point to Point technology. Medical expenses are lower, but the level of coverage is not and members are not paying more. WellNet provides valuable information that is understandable and they provide effective turn-key strategies to lower claims over the long term."

"You finally have unlocked the black box. I can only imagine that this platform is going to disrupt many outsiders’ revenue streams. I told my VP of HR this past year that I wanted something that gave me control of my healthcare expenses, not the same 18% increase that then gets knocked down to 12%. You guys have nailed it. I’ve never seen anything like Point to Point before."

"
Every single service representative we work with at WellNet is outstanding! Their advisors' responsiveness, knowledge and caring attitude are the best we have seen in the business – and we have seen a lot!"

"It makes complete sense to correlate the Rx usage with the medical plan. With WellNet we can now monitor this and make better proactive decisions based on what the data tells us."

"Having data analyzed and interpreted will help in planning for the next 3 to 5 years out, which every CEO needs to do. Any growing company needs to be thinking about all of their healthcare benefits; having this kind of data allows us to manage our 3rd biggest expense as we approach all of our other business units."

"What haven’t you included in here? If I understand correctly, there’s no piece of data or healthcare service that’s not included here. This is brilliant."

"I have got to tell you that you really ’WOWED’ all of us, not only with the extent, usefulness and volume of data but also with Point to Point’s ability to present and interpret. We view your technology as an extremely useful tool."
