The Phia Group Celebrates 15 Years – THANK YOU!!!

Feb 10, 2015

It is with joy and humility that I announce the 15th anniversary of The Phia Group, LLC.  From its simple beginnings in my mother’s basement to our current status as an industry leader, even I – confident as I was that we’d succeed – am shocked and grateful for the level of success we’ve achieved together.

A PASSION FOR SUBRO!

The Phia Group began 15 years ago during a camping trip between two college buddies – Michael “Mike” Branco and myself.  The concept was simple; create a subrogation firm that would take advantage of leading edge, proprietary technology (thereby ensuring that the maximum number of claim recovery opportunities are identified), and combine it with the best legal minds (to maximize the per-case recoveries).  We saw where other subrogation firms were utilizing old techniques and tired technology; and tasked ourselves with building an innovative, forward thinking cost-containment company.  We knew that there had to be a better way, so we planned and developed a strategy that would change the status quo.   I guess it worked!

A REVOLUTIONARY PASSION FOR SAVINGS!

Less than a decade later, we were quite familiar with the “ins and outs” of our clients’ benefit plans, and the industry at large.  After all, to maximize subrogation results, our clients – with our help – needed to have the best plan document language and claims process, before – during – and after subrogation occurs.  It therefore surprised no one that we chose to leverage our growing expertise, and expand our offerings to include plan drafting and consulting services.  What started with subrogation provisions and advice on claims processing soon became a full blown plan drafting program – complete with review and revision of existing documents, online plan drafting software, template plans, SBC services, and review of SPDs side-by-side with stop-loss policies and PPO contracts.  From redlines to minding the gap; PPACA compliance to dialysis carve outs… we soon found ourselves offering a plethora of plan document and consulting services.

EMPOWERING PLANS

From our humble subrogation beginnings, to our current status as one of the industry’s best sources for cost containment services, I do not believe our story is close to ending.  I do believe that, just as our first fifteen years saw incredible growth… in the size of our company, family of clients, and portfolio of services… so too do I see the next fifteen years ushering in new experts, new partners, and new services.

We promise to continue innovating and breaking new ground. We have, and always will, strive to stay ahead of the curve; to deliver new opportunities and solutions to you and your clients.  Our success is dependent upon your success.  As you grow and prosper, so do we.  The last 15 years have been great; let’s make the next 15 years even better.

Thank you for “Learning With Us,” “Planning With Us,” and “Saving With Us.”  Thank you for believing in us.

Happy 15th Birthday Phia!  Together, we are truly empowering plans…

Sincerely,

Adam V. Russo, Esq.
