PCT seeks only the
highest quality provider to be included in our Provider panel. Since the
formation of PCT, we have been highly successful at contracting with these
high quality Providers that have either left the Texas Workers Compensation
system or never accepted these products due to the excessive burdens and
problems that are being resolved with the PCT model.

PCT is focused on the highest quality of medical care, services, clinical
outcomes and return-to-work results. The key component to this focus is the
quality of our Network configuration of Participating Providers and their
ability to promptly render the appropriate medical care to injured
employees. PCT partners with our Participating Providers and expects them
to be dedicated to the PCT core values and policies. PCT respects the
authority and integrity of the Participating Provider, their relationships
with other specialized Physicians and their patient’s.
PCT and our
Providers offer to Employees in each service area the following:
- quality
healthcare services
- availability and
accessibility of healthcare services and Providers
- continuity of
care
Our current provider panels include the
types of specialties and quantities based on the best known capacity
projections. As PCT grows, we will closely monitor the capacity
relationship projections of our Provider Panels and expand any Providers or
specialties necessary to meet the healthcare needs of our Customers. PCT
considers the ratio capacity of 1 Provider to every 1,000 covered Employees
in each service area. PCT encourages our Providers to make special
scheduling arrangements for our Customers, especially when urgent services
are required. Research indicates that once a Network model is implemented,
the utilization of office visits and medical service volumes will decrease.
PCT has evaluated the Texas Work Comp
Injury Types data in comparison to our Provider panel specialties and their
Scope of Practice, which indicates that our Providers are trained to treat
these Injury types; any further services required by a specialty not in our
panel will be referred to our out of network and access plan procedures.
Additionally, the TDI data indicates that historically, some of the injury
types may not have been treated by Providers trained in the most appropriate
specialty or their scope of practice.
Currently, the PCT
Participating Provider Panels include the following Specialties located in
the PCT service areas:
