Don’t give up on your under-reimbursing managed care contracts due to a lack of payer response to your negotiation requests. This is actually what they want you to do.

Payers are notorious for ignoring contract negotiation requests.

To do this, you must know how to speak “payer.” Once you do, you can get them to respond to your negotiation requests and even increase your rates.
