For almost 20 years, it has been an honor to defend psychiatrists, psychiatry and the practice of medicine through my claims work at PRMS. I am proud to be a part of a team that looks at what it does as “more than an insurance policy.” When other insurance carriers less experienced in psychiatry would exclude things like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic ...

My first experience with PRMS is when I called to schedule a job interview.  The human resource manager was not available so Victoria Chevalier, one of the agents, bent over backwards to make sure that I met the team.  Victoria did not have to take the call but she wanted to assist me.  This positive experience left me with a great impression and I knew I wanted to work with th ...

I speak with several of our doctors on a daily basis, as well as representatives from the hospitals where they practice. I enjoy the direct customer service that we provide all of our clients. PRMS is not your avera ...

Rain did not stop another successful NAMIWalksNYC event from happening this May at the South Street Seaport Promenade in New York City. PRMS was delighted to once again sponsor several psychiatric societies’ participation in NAMIWalks 2017. National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) provides free support, education and advocacy programs for individuals with mental illness and t ...

On April 24, 2017, the Indiana Governor signed into law a bill that specifies notice requirements for network health care providers that make referrals to out of network health care providers. Beginning after December 31, 2017, the new requirements apply to referrals made for any patient for any service outside the referring health care provider’s office or hospital practice. U ...

As a part of PRMS’ ongoing commitment to behavioral health we invited Sally Winkelman, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Psychiatric Association, to be featured as our guest blogger this month. Shannon Friedbacher, a fourth year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, knows that psychiatry is the field of medicine she will pursue after graduation. Part of her dec ...

I joined the PRMS family on April 30, 2012 as an Account Representative in the Underwriting Department and am now an Account Advisor. Before joining PRMS, I worked at a much larger company where I did not know the names of half their employees.  I am now approaching my fifth year with PRMS and I can honestly say that it has been a wonderful experience working with highly talent ...
