The difference between PBG’s is the customer service and rebate programs they offer. Over the past 20 years, PCA has distinguished itself in both areas. PCA provides excellent customer service, and our team members are readily available to help answer any questions you may have. We also provide current and important information on the vaccines our manufacturers offer along with information on CPT coding, billing and other important day to day items. Additionally, PCA has differentiated itself as a leader in this industry by keeping overhead costs low and not sponsoring or providing kickbacks to professional physician organizations in exchange for office referrals. This allows us to share the majority of the administrative fees we receive from the manufacturers with our members.
Background Information
- PCA began as Utah Pediatric Alliance in 2001 and was renamed Primary Care Alliance to better reflect its membership.
- PCA continues to negotiate contracts with vaccine manufacturers allowing members to purchase all the vaccines they need to immunize their patients.
PCA started in 2001 under the name Utah Pediatric Alliance. As the number of member practices grew and expanded across the country the name was changed to Primary Care Alliance to better represent its membership. Currently PCA is serving thousands of medical providers. Over the past 20 years, PCA has seen the vaccine industry expand significantly as more vaccines have become available for infants, children, adolescents and adults. Because of this we have negotiated contracts with additional vaccine manufacturers allowing you to purchase all the vaccines you need to immunize your patients at the lowest possible price.
PCA prides itself on providing excellent customer service to its members as well as putting as much money as possible back in our members’ pockets! We are happy to answer any questions you may have about vaccine acquisition, purchasing, storage, coding, reimbursement and other practice management needs.
