Managed Care Contracting For Ancillary Care Providers

Ancillary care providers have unique managed care contracting challenges. You want to increase your provider reimbursements through new or existing contracts, but you may have trouble determining what kind of contract is needed, explaining your value proposition to a payer who is already contracting with a competitor, breaking into closed networks, evaluating your fee schedules, troubleshooting claims for timely payment, and marketing your services to more patients. Getting more referrals may be a challenge as well.
