The Managed Care Contracting Handbook - Planning & Negotiating the Managed Care Relationship (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

Managed care contracting is a process that frustrates even the best administrators. However, to ignore this complexity is to do so at your own expense. You don t necessarily need to bear the cost of overpriced legal advice, but you do need to know what questions to ask, what clauses to avoid, what contingencies to cover ... and when to ask a lawyer for help.

• Decode and analyze reimbursement problems, loopholes, and contract stipulations you are likely to encounter
• Learn tried-and-true tricks, tools, shortcuts, and techniques to evaluate agreements
• Negotiate contracts that won t leave you open to unanticipated expenses
