Payer Contracting
 

Payer Contracting—Our Most Popular Initial Engagement

HBN’s payer contracting service gathers and inventories your contracts and fee schedules into your tailored ContractMaster, FeeCreator, and FeeMaster tools. We analyze them based on your utilization and then meet with you to go over each agreement and schedule. You’ll understand how each compares to your other contracts and industry standards, when your contracts allow you to go to the table to renegotiate, and how to approach your renegotiation strategy.

Let HBN assist in maintaining your agreements, modeling offers and counteroffers including more traditional professional and Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) rates as well as cutting edge value based and bundled payment models, creating fair carve-outs for payers that do not pay separately for implants, assessing the impact of and responding to amendments and other notices from payers, determining if all products are appropriate for your organization, and more.
