Negotiating or renegotiating managed care contracts.
When negotiating or renegotiating a managed care contract, medical groups need leverage. Medical groups have to offer the managed care company something it can't get anywhere else in order to get the most advantageous contract. Leverage can come by offering a large provider panel, geographic coverage or superior quality, among other things. In every case, physicians benefit by being proactive as they negotiate managed care contracts.
