Payer Management

How does payer management impact a hospital’s revenue and margins?

Healthcare providers often lack the adequate tools, information, and analytics to understand this impact and negotiate with payers

More than a third of U.S. healthcare payments are now value based, signaling a shift from traditional fee-for-service reimbursement. Across the nation, alternative payment models (APMs) have been launched and gained traction. With the addition of more complex payment models such as bundled payments and ACOs, health systems need the right tools to negotiate for adequate reimbursement and maintain healthy margins.

To get the most out of their contracts, hospitals and health systems need to be able to analyze their revenue, cost, and margin in one system; to identify underpayments and root causes; and to understand the financial impact of changes to their terms on net revenue and margin.
