Understanding Your Driver For Payer Contract Negotiations

We first listen, to understand your needs and goals for payer contract negotiations; then provide customized, value-added solutions. For instance, which one or more of the following reasons is causing you to consider negotiating your payer contracts:

  • Increase in Revenue
  • Expanding your Payer Network
  • Increase the Patient Base or Lives Covered
  • Higher Market Penetration
  • Become More Competitive in Your Jurisdiction
You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure

To help you manage your revenue, we conduct a thorough payer reimbursement analysis, including:

  • Identifying high-volume and high-value medical procedures and services rendered at your medical practice or healthcare organization
  • Reviewing the fee schedules and reimbursement rates of payers you want to negotiate with for above procedures and services
  • Analyzing the payer’s reimbursement policies, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, to understand how they affect the amount you will be reimbursed for each claim
  • Researching gaps in reimbursement between contracted amounts and payments received for specific CPT’s
Establish Key Payer Contract Negotiation Differentiators

When requesting a reimbursement rate increase, we help illustrate the value you offer to the payer, as compared to the competing healthcare organizations in your jurisdiction. For instance, does your practice offer services in multiple languages, or extended business hours during weekdays, or telehealth appointments etc. Similarly, do you have expert providers in niche areas of your specialty that can cater to specific patient diseases.
