Tier Pediatrics

Wow, time flies! Madi has been with us for over a year already, so we caught up with her to see how working at Tier Pediatrics has impacted her both personally and professionally! When beginning a career as a Physician Assistant, you're faced with a lot of decisions. Decisions like- are you going to work in a hospital? A private practice? What will your specialty be? We're happy Madi chose a career in direct care here at our small but growing pediatricians office. Professionally, a smaller practice is great because you are able to wear so many hats. Being able to touch every part of the process helps you gain insight and respect for why things are done the way they are. You also get to treat patients with a greater level of care. Here at Tier we are providing them with direct communication from scheduling, to billing, to child growth... making sure they know they are much more than just a number to us. Personally a practice like Tier Pediatrics allows for flexibility in how many patients you see, what kind of patients you see, and grants time for relaxation and recuperation. Tier also has put in the work to be able to offer benefits for student loan repayment, and to join programs for further career development. We're so excited for what's to come in the next year! #Healthcare #Pediatrics #Pediatrician

Every child deserves to be warm. We are still going strong for WBNG TV 12's Coats For Kids drive! We're so proud to be an official drop off station for this wonderful campaign. But, there's still room in our barrel. Let's change that! If anybody out there has an old coat that no longer fits their little one, drop it off here or any of the other locations. Just knowing how many people have already stepped up and donated to the cause reminds us of how special our community truly is. #Pediatrics #Community #Healthcare

We're so pleased to have Katherine from Marywood University's PA Program joining us at Tier Pediatrics for the next few weeks! She has just started her Pediatric rotation and is doing amazing so far. We're excited to see what these next 5 will bring. We're so grateful for Katherine, and Marywood University for sending us such bright and dedicated students! We appreciate all of you for giving us an opportunity to play a role in creating the next generation of providers. #Healthcare #Education #PhysicianAssistant #Pediatrics #Pediatrician

This week marks Imran Battla's 4 year anniversary working with Tier Pediatrics. Though he has been around the practice his entire life, he came on board full-time in 2020 to assist Dr. Battla and the rest of our team with the struggles we were facing during the COVID pandemic. We don't have the space to describe what Imran has done for Tier Pediatrics, but we'll do our best to sum it up. He hit the ground running and went to work revolutionizing our entire revenue cycle management. He put in hours combating workforce and employee retention issues during a time with very minimal resources in our local talent pool. It was through that effort, Tier Pediatrics was finally able to find Madi, Karen, and Lana. These projects led to the start of our student preceptor program that has connected us with countless rising talent across the nation. To put it into numbers, our practice has seen a 196% increase in patient care, and a 164% increase in patient visits to our practice! We couldn't be happier to have him on our team. To put it into his own words "It's been a whirlwind. Excited for what's to come!" To the next four, Imran! #Pediatrics #Healthcare #Pediatrician

There's no care quite like direct care from a small practice like ours. Choosing a provider that offers direct care cuts out the middle man and puts the focus on the patient. (the way it should be) When a patient is a part of a bigger system, a patient could lose quality of care even with a really amazing doctor at the helm. There are multiple departments, teams, and call centers who are scheduling your appointments, coordinating follow ups, and trying to bill insurance. It's only normal that a few things get lost in the shuffle. Unfortunately, those headaches end up falling on the patients parents to figure out. But, not with us. We make it a point to handle everything from start to finish with a personal touch. We may not have all of the resources available in-house that a larger healthcare provider may have. However, we do have over 35 years of building a network of trusted specialists under our belts. So we can provide personalized care with the knowledge and understanding that you need. From appointments to billing, to referrals... we can handle it all right here, and we're proud to say that. #Healthcare #Patient #Pediatrician #Pediatrics

We're so proud to be an official drop off station for WBNG TV 12's annual Coats For Kids drive! It's been amazing seeing so many other local businesses throughout our community step up and help promote this wonderful cause. Especially as a business who works primarily with children, we know there's a great need for this across the Southern Tier. If you have a coat, or would like to donate one... please stop by our office or any of the other participating drop off locations across the Southern Tier!

The college of Berkeley once did a study that showed that it takes 100 hours on average to be able to consider someone a friend. Our students spend 40 hours per week for 5 weeks with us. Totaling 200 hours when all said and done. We can proudly say that we are always getting amazing groups of PA students from colleges like Le Moyne College, Marywood University, Binghamton University, and King's College! They're always so eager to learn and become the best provider they can be. We can also say that through these rotations, we have built so many wonderful relationships that we still hold close to us today. Being there to provide support through every step of their process. We're grateful to be able to grow our network of healthcare providers, but even more proud to make so many good friends. Thanks for the amazing work Garrett, Martha, and Cat! #School #PAProgram #Healthcare #Pediatrician #Pediatric

Insurance premiums keep going up, and coverage keeps going down. Here's what we do to combat the rising healthcare costs. First, we make sure that we aren't passing any of the rising costs on to the patient. We do our best to absorb any additional costs or provide additional coverage. Being a direct care provider, we take out a lot of the administration associated with additional costs, so we only bill our patients for the services rendered. Nothing more, nothing less. Secondly, we work to be able to accept all kinds of insurance. We're constantly scouting to see if supplementary insurance providers could be a fit for us and our patients. Lastly, our dedicated Patient Care Manager, Imran, prioritizes handling any issues with billing and insurance before they even get to the patient. He has made it his mission to make life easier for busy parents in the Southern Tier, and he does an incredible job of it. This is all part of our fully transparent approach on the way we do business. We need to make sure that you understand everything that is happening. We want to make it so that our patient can focus on the most important thing... their children. #Healthcare #Pediatrics #Pediatrician #Insurance #Premiums

For over 35 years we've been delivering compassionate care, ensuring the next generation is healthy and taken care of. It's our mission to empower both; our patients and their parents, to be able to advocate for themselves long after they age out of our care. It's so important to have the knowledge and confidence to know the quality of care that you deserve. Knowing this, we know that our patients will be able to seek continuity in all of their care for the rest of their lives. So, we'll continue to do everything we can to continue to earn "Big Thumbs Ups" like this one! #Pediatrics #Healthcare #Patient #Health

School is just around the corner and we want to put the word of positivity into the ears of adults, parents, teachers, uncles, aunts, and everyone else! There is no room for bullying. If you see something, say something... work together, help each other, and grow together! From all of us at Tier Pediatrics we wanted to remind you that your kids can be the change in the world! Everyone is in this together, and we hope you all have an amazing school year! #Pediatrics #School #Academics
