About PRS Network
PRS Network is a national community of urology practices, healthcare leaders, and industry partners committed to protecting the economic foundation of modern medicine.
We work together to ensure that physician services and medical innovation are:
-
Documented clearly
-
Coded accurately
-
Reimbursed appropriately
— so patients have access to the best care and practices can thrive.
Innovation in healthcare only succeeds when reimbursement works.
PRS Network brings clarity to:
-
Documentation
-
Coding
-
Billing
-
Reimbursement
Across medical specialties—with deep roots in urology and national reach through partnerships with leading professional organizations.
We educate the clinicians, administrators, and revenue leaders who determine how care is documented and ultimately paid. We also support industry partners who need credible, specialty-specific guidance to communicate the economic realities behind new technologies.
When:
-
Reimbursement is misunderstood → Adoption slows
-
Documentation is weak → Revenue leaks
-
Coding is inconsistent → Risk increases
We solve those problems.
Our Leadership
Established in December 1989, PRS Network was built to bring practical, specialty-focused reimbursement guidance to procedural medicine.
From its earliest years, the organization has been shaped by the leadership of Mark Painter, Scott Painter, and Dr. Ray Painter, helping define a more rigorous approach to documentation, coding, and financial performance in urology and beyond.
Today, PRS Network operates under Scott Painter’s leadership, with strategic guidance and continued expertise from Mark Painter, whose influence in urology reimbursement has helped shape the organization’s direction for decades.
The organization remains closely connected to its founding perspective while continuing to evolve with the changing healthcare landscape.
