Coalition Information
The mission of Wellness Coalition America is to provide reliable information, tools and resources that allow people of all ages to make more informed choices for leading healthier lives. Toward that end, we have established a platform where like-minded health and business professionals can work together, empowering and enriching the lives of each person we touch through education with a focus on prevention.
Our Mission
The primary mission of Wellness Coalition America is to educate people of all ages about the importance of exercise, proper nutrition and lifestyle management for achieving total body wellness; and to motivate them to take action. We’ll be the first to admit, it’s a tall order for one organization to accomplish, especially given the state of our nation’s health (see below). That’s why we’ve established a platform (which we call a Coalition) where like-minded health and business professionals can work together, empowering people to make informed choices for leading healthier lives. We are definitely proponents of the idea that “it takes a village.”
As you read through the descriptions of the programs and services we offer, as well as the resources we have assembled, we hope you will find the information and inspiration you are seeking in your own quest for ultimate wellness. If you have questions or suggestions for ways we can better serve you and your loved ones, please email us at info@wellnesscoalition.com. Your feedback is always welcome! |

Company Profile
informed choices . .
. healthier lives
Independence and Security . Primary
PhysicianCare, Inc. provides comprehensive health plan management for
self-insured companies, institutions and organizations. We care about our
members and their families, and we utilize our fully-integrated
delivery system to negotiate with doctors, hospitals, pharmacies,
medical groups and other providers. We provide our members with the most
advantageous arrangement available. We also manage all billing and payments;
handle pre-admission screenings and other care management services using our own
medical staff; and provide disease management through Healthgram—our
proprietary, patent-pending software system.
Founded in 1977 in
Charlotte, North Carolina, Primary PhysicianCare, Inc. is privately owned and
independent of any insurance company, medical care provider, or financial
institution. This independence allows us to offer our members the security and
knowledge that we are working on behalf of their health and wellness- no
competing agendas, no conflicts of interest.
Primary PhysicianCare, Inc.
strives to be a beacon of innovation in the rapidly-evolving field of health
plan management. Our fully-integrated approach, extensive
expertise and dedicated staff enable us to operate with optimal accuracy and
efficiency.
Integration and
Innovation
The difference is clear. Primary
PhysicianCare, Inc. can be distinguished from other health plan administrators
in four significant areas:
1. Technology. Primary PhysicianCare, Inc. views
technology as "the great equalizer;" thus bigger is no longer better. Through
innovative use of technology, our company provides more products and services
than a major insurance company—at a fraction of the cost. Through Healthgram,
our proprietary software and online portal, Primary PhysicianCare, Inc. tracks
all aspects of an employee's health history and healthcare costs. This allows us
to provide our members with an aggregate picture of the general health of their
employee population.
2. Fully-Integrated Service. Rather than outsource
services to other organizations, Primary PhysicianCare, Inc. integrates all
major aspects of healthcare administration into its base operations. We employ
a full staff of medical professionals—including nurses, nurse practitioners, and
doctors—who oversee protocols and evidence-based medicine, pharmacology, and
standards of care within the workplace.
3. Education and Support. Recognizing that preventive care
plays a key role in managing healthcare costs, Primary PhysicianCare, Inc.
formed an alliance in 2005 with Wellness Coalition America to
develop and manage corporate wellness programs for our clients. Today, as a
wholly-owned division of Primary PhysicianCare, Inc., the Coalition provides
support, education and wellness program management for more than 200 companies
and 100,000 individuals.
4. Commitment. Primary PhysicianCare, Inc. understands that
to be successful, a health plan must satisfy the needs of employers who fund the
plan, employees who utilize the plan, and providers who deliver the care. Our
company maintains the vision of our founder, David R. Tate, by remaining
committed to our members and their care providers.
Company History
Foundation and Beyond . Primary PhysicianCare,
Inc. is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Chairman and CEO,
David R. Tate, founded the company in 1977. He began as a consultant placing
healthcare plans with businesses and individuals, quickly becoming one of the
largest producers in the Southeast and in the nation.
The direction of the company changed in 1985 when David offered to develop a
self-funded delivery system for a client with 800 employees who was dissatisfied
with its current plan administrator. The new system allowed Primary
PhysicianCare, Inc. to deliver a better product than was possible through
traditional insurance companies.
Even insurance companies took note. From 1990 through 1997, Jefferson-Pilot
Insurance Company marketed a plan that was designed and managed by Primary
PhysicianCare. It outperformed Jefferson Pilot’s own product by 20 percent while
growing to become 10 percent of JPs national book of business. This is a credit
to Primary PhysicianCare, Inc.'s quality management.
Our history reveals a record of achievement at extraordinary levels. Primary
PhysicianCare, Inc. has maintained a focus on personalized service, accurate
delivery and balanced growth. These factors combine to achieve an exceptional
client retention rate. Now, in addition to loyally serving our members across
the Southeast, we are steadily expanding our national presence.
