Improving Payer Contract Negotiations: Managed Care Experts Share How
It’s no secret that negotiating payer contracts has always been a challenge for healthcare providers. With the recent shift toward consumerism, changing patient behavior, and the revenue fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty is at an all-time high. To address this uncertainty, PMMC brought together four Managed Care experts. And we do mean experts – every panelist has had at least 25 years of experience. The panelists didn’t hold back from addressing the real challenges our hospitals face today in terms of revenue and reimbursement. It was shocking to learn that from March 1 to April 15, hospitals were losing $1 Billion per day due to the drop in elective procedures during the height of the COVID-19 outbreak. In just one hour, we covered everything including how to handle this revenue loss with payers, the impact of the rise in telehealth, and how to use predictive analytics and scorecards to manage and predict all these shifting dynamics in reimbursement.
