Preferred Physicians Healthcare Alliance

Preferred Physicians Healthcare Alliance (PPHA) was a healthcare services organization that provided utilization management, case management, and care management services to physician networks and insurance plans. Operating as a Physician Hospital Organization (PHO), PPHA was accredited by URAC for its health utilization management standards and served as a key administrative partner for managed care organizations. The company specialized in ensuring medical necessity and clinical oversight for various health plans, including Medicare and Medicaid networks. In 2010, PPHA's operations and contracts were acquired by KePRO Acquisitions, Inc., and the entity subsequently transitioned its legal identity to Exppha, LLC. The organization played a significant role in the Florida and Pennsylvania healthcare markets by coordinating care between independent physicians and payers.
