The AMA has received numerous complaints about solicitations from Three Rivers Provider Network to physicians. These solicitations appear to be a routine request for a W-9, but in fact, if signed, result in the physician practice agreeing to be "in network" with Three Rivers and agreeing to accept 25% discounts off their fees. The AMA sent a letter to Three Rivers outlining its concerns about this solicitation and urging Three Rivers to make its contracting practices transparent. The AMA encourages you to be on the lookout for these solicitations and to only sign the document if you wish to be in the Three Rivers network.
