Managed Care Contracting Strategies: Identifying leverage and building your business case

Managed care contracting has become increasingly complex, with physician practices facing flat reimbursement, growing administrative burdens, narrow networks, and restrictive payor policies.

But practices may have more leverage than they realize.

Join the California Medical Association for a practical webinar on how to approach managed care contracting more strategically. Learn how to identify possible network pressure points, evaluate your practice’s value to a health plan network, use market and regulatory information effectively, and prepare for more productive contract discussions.

Topics include:
  • Organizing financial and operational data before
  • Evaluating which contracts to prioritize
  • Understanding payor pressures and network requirements
  • Identifying possible leverage opportunities
  • Using network adequacy requirements strategically
  • Building a strong business case for your practice
  • Evaluate contract decisions thoughtfully
This webinar is intended for physicians, practice leaders, practice administrators, and staff involved in contracting and reimbursement strategy.
