CAM PPO Background

Preventive Medicine Group and AdvoCare Inc. have been doing business with Parker Hannifin for over 20 years collectively. When Parker Hannifin initiated a plan to include medical coverage for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) services under its self-insured benefit plan, Preventive Medicine Group and AdvoCare Inc. joined together to launch CAM PPO of America, Inc., a non-risk-assuming PPO. The incisive leadership of Parker Hannifin executives, recognizing the value added for employees through the increased availability CAM treatment options, fostered the groundwork of CAM PPO of America, Inc. This organization was created to build a credentialed provider network to accommodate the growing demand for CAM services. Our goal is to guide and encourage the use of CAM services through the Network, and to make it available to other employers.

Health Tip
Food Smarts

Mid-day, it's easy to grab a bag of chips and a soda from the vending machine and think, "Hey, I just need a pick me up!" It's also easy to tell yourself that "healthy food is too expensive."  But when was the last time you totallyed up your expenses on the "cheap" snacks? Have you compared the price of a bag of chips to a bag of carrots or grapes? You may be surprised. Not to mention what the "cheap treats" might cost you in health and health care dollars if you include calculations for prescriptions or over the counter remedies. A bag of oranges starts to look affordable very quickly! Good planning can eliminate the need for impulsive or boredom-related eating that fills you with excuses and empty calories. If you know you have a long day at work ahead, a few moments of planning can add healthy snacks to your lunch and better options at "crunch time."
