PART 2: Negotiate to Reduce Managed Care Contract Administrative Burdens
Choose the On-Demand Recording or CD-Rom to Watch at Your Convenience
Payers include excessive administrative burdens in your managed care contracts that delay your reimbursements and add hours and hours of extra processing time for your staff.
Your contracted payers do this on purpose. The longer it takes you to process your claims, the longer payers get to keep their money. But it doesn’t have to be this way…
There are proven negotiation tactics you can employ that will help reduce the administrative requirements buried in your payer policy manuals. With a little help, you can cut prior authorization timelines, reduce payer medical records requests (and get paid for them), reduce recoupment demands and get more of your denied claims overturned. You just have to know how.
This is where practice management and contracting expert Doral Davis-Jacobsen, MBA, FACMPE can help. During her upcoming online training, Doral will walk you through exactly how to better negotiate your new and existing managed care contracts to reduce their administrative burden on your practice.
Here are just a few of the proven, step-by-step managed care contract negotiation strategies you’ll be able to utilize by attending this 60-minute online training:
- Calculate and use realistic staff processing times to negotiate faster payments
- Rate each payer’s “hassle factor” to reveal if negotiations are even worth your time

- Go after contractual administrative rules payers are most likely to reduce
- Implement a practice contracting strike force to get a better deal
- Overcome payer objections with a winning Practice Value Proposition
