Terminate a Payer Contract Without Putting Your Practice at Risk
When your payer denials skyrocket, your reimbursements get cut (again), your inbox is flooded with excessive record requests, and your payments are continuously delayed, sometimes your best option is to terminate a payer contract.
Even though dropping a payer might seem straightforward, the minefield that follows can be a legal and regulatory nerve-racking. Don’t risk your providers and practice by deciding to terminate a payer contract without knowing how to mitigate the fallout.
Join healthcare attorneys Daphne Kackloudis, JD, and Jordan Burdick, JD, on Tuesday, December 17th at 1pm ET for a no-nonsense, 60-minute online training that will arm you with the know-how to ditch a payer contract without landing in significant hot water. Plus, you’ll learn how to keep more patients as an out-of-network provider.
Below, you’ll find some of the practical advice you’ll receive by attending this online training so you can terminate a payer contract more successfully:
- Master patient obligations during and after payer termination
- Identify and fix contract terminology that could get you sued
- Nail patient notification timelines to prevent abandonment allegations
- Steer clear of easy-to-make No Surprises Act violations
- Minimize revenue losses with smart out-of-network strategies
- Prevent balanced-billing errors to avert hefty penalties
- Safeguard patient-provider relationships amid payer changes
- Keep more patients while avoiding costly violations
- And so much more …
This online training is essential for your practice if you contract with any type of third-party payer (i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, other government payers, commercial payers, etc.), regardless of your practice’s specialty or size.
Your practice provides valuable healthcare services and deserves to be paid accurately, quickly, and without mounds of red tape. You have the power to change it— as long as you terminate your payer contract the right way.
