This is a renewal of the original contract. CCCSIG is improving its bill review software, which will
allow greater penetration of applicable medical Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) discounts.
While the annual fee for the bill review services is slightly higher, we are anticipating an additional
18-20% overall savings from the enhanced PPO discounts.
