PDPR Marathon Group Corporation (CE)

Linda Putback-Bean, pediatric specialist and CEO of Pediatric Prosthetics, Inc. (OTCBB:PDPR) put the milestone in perspective, stating, "As of Thursday, we are now Certified and Accredited by the 'ABC' and valid in all 50 United States. This achievement will allow us to negotiate for 'Preferred Provider' status with hundreds and perhaps even thousands of group-health insurance plans across the entire United States. "It will also allow us for the first time to negotiate national contracts with the larger insurance companies as the only 'ABC' certified pediatric specialist company in the country." Linda continued, "For the very first time, as we are fully 'ABC' certified nationally, and in conjunction with our 'Host Affiliates', we can now work toward 'in-network' status virtually everywhere." Kenneth Bean, VP Operations, put a fine point on the milestone, stating, "This has been a two year project to get every single facet of our pediatric practice audited, approved, and certified. First of course our unique fitting protocols and patient care excellence are formally recognized. Also, our billing, record keeping, and health insurance company interface practices are commended, due primarily to the efforts of our Director of Business Administration, Elizabeth Carlstrom. "In conclusion, if you were one of the thousands of parents across the U.S. with an infant or child with a limb-loss, and your 'preferred provider' list with your health insurance policy or information packet listed several prosthetics providers with various names... we believe most of you would call or visit our web site as we would be the only prosthetics provider on that list with 'Pediatric' as its name. We are gearing up in anticipation." About Pediatric Prosthetics Inc. Pediatric Prosthetics Inc. is the national provider of specialized pediatric prosthetics for both upper and lower limbs. The Company�s CEO Linda Putback-Bean pioneered fitting state-of-the-art myoelectric upper extremity prostheses for the pediatric niche market. In the absence of a hand or arm, a child's brain still continues sending signals to grasp or open the hand in the residual limb. Myoelectric sensors can read those signals through the skin, (requiring no surgery), and with a computer chip can magnify those signals many fold to actuate a tiny powerful motor to accomplish tasks with the life-like hand. In 2003, Ms. Putback-Bean founded Pediatric Prosthetics to create a comprehensive organization that connects parents and their children with a limb loss, to expert pediatric prosthetic fitting, rehabilitation, and life-long care. As a result, Pediatric Prosthetics hopes to increase the quality of life for patients and their families nationwide.
