Managed Care Contract Evaluations

Negotiating effective contracts requires careful planning and a willingness to collaborate.

Managed care contracts are an essential part of a sound financial strategy which represents a significant percentage of a healthcare organization’s revenue. Successfully negotiated contracts can not only preserve revenue but yield additional dollars through new insurance products and models.

A primary goal for any managed care negotiation is to receive fair compensation for services. However, that should not be an organization’s sole objective.

We look at the impact the payer will have on your workflow—items such as how responsive the payer is to problems with claims, implementation of new policies and procedures, and whether the payer allows delegated credentialing.

FPS will evaluate the breadth of products each payer offers. Medicare, Medicaid and tiered networks are ways in which to diversify the level of participation with a specific payer.
