Medical Case Management
When shipboard care is not an option, patients can be taken to the PIMMS Medical Clinic where our clinical specialists can provide additional medical services in a modern, fully-equipped medical facility.
Drug Testing
PIMMS provides onsite drug testing services 24 hours a day for all drug testing scenarios such as:
• Post-accident follow up
• Pre-employment screening
• Coast Guard required testing
• Routine or random testing
Inpatient Hospitalization
PIMMS provides a broad range of inpatient hospitalization services, ranging from routine procedures to complex surgeries.
Case Management
When a crew member requires hospitalization PIMMS manages the patient’s case throughout their stay. The PIMMS team maintains daily contact with the patient, hospital and medical staff, the ship’s agent and the ship’s owners or P&I correspondent.
PIMMS inpatient case management yields significant reduction in length of hospital stay and rapid movement to less expensive outpatient services or repatriation.
PIMMS assists the ship’s agent with repatriation providing medical records, prescriptions, and a smooth transition of care. PIMMS also provides full medically escorted repatriation to any location in the world.
Bill Review
We provide aggressive billing review that can often save thousands of dollars. Our billing review team can identify discount opportunities and eliminate overcharges and errors. PIMMS provides the P&I correspondent, owner or agent with one consolidated billing statement including all inpatient, outpatient and associated medical charges.
Discount & Consolidation
PIMMS can provide generous discounting to hospital and physician billings. This is reflected in significantly lower overall costs to ship owners with discounts ranging from 5% to 50%.
