What’s Covered in the Workshop
We’ve received several requests to create a one-day workshop through the Healthcare Business Institute (HBI), our nonprofit educational foundation to address the unique DMEPOS issues in managed care contracting. We are pleased to announce a new , hands-on workshop intended to guide DMEPOS providers in responding to managed care opportunities and building local-market strategies.
This workshop serves as an introduction to managed care models, reimbursement methods, and contract negotiation. It addresses financial, clinical, and contract language analysis, and negotiation considerations for the development of both provider networks and the managed care plans.
Helpful checklists and practice pointers are provided so that DMEPOS providers can better analyze and negotiate managed care participation and reimbursement opportunities with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and managed care organizations (MCOs).
The course progresses through five workshop modules, including:
WM1: The DMEPOS Perspective on the State of Managed Care
WM2: Problematic Provisions and Reimbursement Issues in Managed Care
WM3: Transitioning to Alternative Payment Methods in Managed Care
WM4: Easily Overlooked Clauses in Managed Care Agreements
WM5: What to do when Managed Care Says “No”
Course Evaluation and Dismissal
As a complement to the workshop, The Healthcare Business Institute and Mercury Advisory Group are pleased to offer the Managed Care Contracting Handbook, 2nd edition authored by the workshop leader, Maria Todd. The book includes detailed checklists, a companion CD, and expands on many of the topics covered in the workshop in greater detail.
