After 40+ years managing laboratories, Kentmere Healthcare Consulting Corporation founder and CEO Jeffrey M. Petrizzi recognized health plans’ challenge in managing complex financial, medical and technical requirements of outpatient laboratory testing coverage and benefits.

By establishing Kentmere in 2000, Mr. Petrizzi created the laboratory benefit management industry and over the next 25 years formed a model known for unmatched operational standards, integrity and independence.

Kentmere Laboratory Benefit Management Program™ is the only complete program with a validated success of 20-1 ROI for every plan partner.

Focusing exclusively on supporting health plans to manage outpatient laboratory services, Kentmere’s principals are unequaled subject matter experts.

Those benefitting from Kentmere’s expertise include local, regional and national health plans and product types in all 50 US states and US territories. Those include commercial, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage with 100 percent validated successes.

Kentmere Laboratory Benefit Management Program™ is independent and works only for health plans. It is not owned by a laboratory, health plan, imaging, genetic counseling company, or venture capital group.

Its unmatched experience includes clinical, pathology, toxicology, genetic and all other types of laboratory testing.

Only Kentmere provides health plans with up-to-date expertise in supporting all health plan departments directly or indirectly impacted by outpatient laboratory testing.

Kentmere’s leadership team includes C-level executives, MDs, PhDs, CPAs, and healthcare analysts from the medical, laboratory, financial and managed care industries — all with more than 30 years of experience in their industry vertical.

Each year, Kentmere’s clients recognize immediate short-term savings and quality improvements with ongoing intermediate and long-term benefits.

Because Kentmere provides support for a health plan’s members, providers and management, limited health plan assistance is required, easing the burden to health plan leaders.

Health plans experience minimal disruption due to Kentmere’s oversight and proprietary network and management implementation program.

Kentmere offers its proprietary and exclusive Proactive service to provide health plans with unlimited access to daily updated lab test technical and financial information, network and medical policy guidelines and updated technical and business information on the laboratory industry.

This highly valued service saves health plans many hours of research and dollars, enabling clients to react quickly to the changes in requirements of managing outpatient lab testing.
