Formerly called Ecom PPO.com, Inc.SM, the managed care leader announces it’s now doing business as Ecom PPO Advisors, Inc. (Ecom) to better reflect the company’s consulting services, which represent the organization’s primary focus and differentiator.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 18, 2006 -- Formerly called Ecom PPO.com, Inc.SM, the managed care leader announces it’s now doing business as Ecom PPO Advisors, Inc. (Ecom) to better reflect the company’s consulting services, which represent the organization’s primary focus and differentiator.

Ecom has set out with a new strategic direction to deliver unprecedented primary PPO savings, selection, analysis and streamlined network administration workflow. In particular, this new focus substantially minimizes health insurance payers’ out-of-network claims or “white space,” navigates customers to the best-fit primary PPOs and shifts the paradigm for healthcare and its affordability for everyone.

“We believe our new company name better articulates the services we offer to the payer community by helping them navigate through the complex world of managed care,” said Ecom President and Chief Operating Officer Rachel Graham.

Ecom’s new image is geared at better capturing its prominence in the managed healthcare industry. In addition to its new image, Ecom is launching its new service, Member-Level PPO Selection -- allowing for the selection of the best-fit PPOs for every individual member and their families, with virtually no disruption.

“Ecom is the only organization in the marketplace with the team, analytical resources and technology to revolutionize the managed care process at the member level,” said Ecom CEO and Chairman L. Cade Havard.

The newly launched corporate identity, Ecom PPO Advisors, Inc., unites all business units and employees under one brand. Along with the name change and release of Member-Level PPO Selection, the company has re-launched its existing Web site.
