Can We Get to Yes? Key Issues in Managed Care Payor-Provider Contracting, Live Audio Conference on CD-ROM
Managed Care Information Center, Oct 2005
Increasingly hospitals are walking away from payor contracts. Physicians are not only dropping out of health plan networks, some are not accepting health insurance. And the headlines are carrying the news about physicians-payor lawsuits. The health costs issue is at the top of the challenge heap for both provider and payor executives this year and that will be reflected in contract negotiations.
How do you get to 'yes' in this environment? Can payors and providers find room to reach agreement? Are providers willing to leave money on the table? Results of our leadership surveys reflect deep divides depending on whether the respondent was from a provider or payor organization.
The goal of 'Can We Get To Yes? Key Issues in Managed Care Payor-Provider Contracting” is to provide a 360-degree assessment of health plan - provider contracting issues for the coming round of negotiations. MCO consolidation in many key markets may tip the scales. Can hospitals negotiate adequate reimbursement when up against the proverbial '900 pound gorilla?'
'We demand the latest technology, the newest drugs, and state-of-the-art medical procedures but have little or no understanding of the healthcare delivery costs inherent within each category,' a health plan director of product development told us. 'Something’s ‘gotta’ give.'
