Claim Negotiation for Healthcare Payers

Save More Money on Out-Of-Network Claims

  • What if you could optimize each negotiation opportunity to reduce your out-of-network claims?
  • What if you could take advantage of a superior process, proprietary data, and repeat relationships to dramatically improve cost containment results?
  • What if you could drive significant incremental savings and pay only when the savings are achieved?
  • What if you could partner with an expert in medical cost reduction to build a negotiation competency for your firm?

Our Services

Healthcare payers, including insurance carriers, third-party administrators (TPAs), and self-insured payers, have an opportunity to optimize their out-of-network claims processing to realize more savings. When there are no established market baselines, healthcare providers commonly overcharge for medical services. Your current claims processing and cost containment efforts may not be as comprehensive or effective as you think. You may be optimizing speed but sacrifice savings and stakeholder value. Drop-in networks often sub-optimize savings for ease of application.
