Negotiate Profitable Insurance Contracts

Product Description:

"'We can't do that; we're just a two-doctor practice."' So begins this report. And yet your income depends largely on what you're paid by third party insurers; thus, what your contracts with them actually provide is critically important.

Most doctors and managers accept contract terms presented by payors without evaluating and negotiating those provisions. There's a sense that what the proposed contract says is what you must accept.

Don't let this happen to you! This report tells you what to look for and how to deal with the big insurers so you'll enter only the contracts that will serve your practice well. It covers topics like these:

  • How to deal with vague contract language, and whether you're better off with clear language (sometimes you're not)
  • Deciding whether to insist on a hard-dollar or a percentage RBRVS conversion factor
  • Ways to evaluate PPO discount contract offers
  • A quick method for evaluating plan reimbursement so you can negotiate better terms upon renewal
  • How to analyze a capitated contract's many details
  • Considerations in terminating a contract that doesn't serve you well
  • And much more

Although you may be a small practice, this report gives proven ways to overcome that disadvantage.
