title: Contract leveraging: a strategy for provider groups in managed care.
abstract: Using one's leverage in health care negotiation does not mean intimidating, threatening, or even demanding a certain percentage of the premium. Leveraging is not a game of who wins and who loses; rather, it is a negotiation technique. The authors explain how to best use the abilities and proficiencies of a provider group to negotiate contracts with MCOs.
