Total HealthCare Management Changes Name to Paladin Managed Care Services

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Total HealthCare Management, Inc. (THM) announced today that it has changed its name to Paladin Managed Care Services. The new name marks a new beginning recognizing the company’s significant expansion of managed care programs and cost containment innovations.

“Our new name reflects the expanded role of physicians and the application of creative technology solutions. Both innovations enhance our effectiveness in delivering improved medical cost savings while not sacrificing quality care. Paladin's improved physician centric medical management model makes us the right move for clients searching for better control of today's escalating cost of medical care.”

Paladin has built upon the foundation established by THM, employing physicians in all aspects of the management of clients’ medical care costs. This innovative approach has proven to consistently produce better results compared to the typical practice of nurses or other staff performing these tasks. Using physicians shortens response time, yields better medical decisions, enhances communications with medical providers and reduces the potential for litigation. Capitalizing on this concept, Paladin’s “physician-centric services” are now available to all of its clients nationwide.

Jeffrey Miller, COO of Paladin said, "Our new name reflects the expanded role of physicians and the application of creative technology solutions. Both innovations enhance our effectiveness in delivering improved medical cost savings while not sacrificing quality care. Paladin's improved physician centric medical management model makes us the right move for clients searching for better control of today's escalating cost of medical care."
