What is your Managed Care Contracting strategy? If you struggle to answer this question, you need an advocate to support you.
For most healthcare providers, the key problem associated with managing a wide range of payor contracts lies in the complexity of the process. Most providers are working with several different payors at once, with each contracted payor operating under their own terms.
Are you struggling with any of the following common payer issues?
• Outdated agreements with poor payment terms
• Disparate rates between payors for the same or similar services
• Wide range of regional and national network participation, with specialty panels routinely close
• Ongoing changes to billing requirements for reimbursement with little transparency
• Contract language that is confusing and exclusive to each payor
