April 29, 2021
Value-based reimbursement and managed care arrangements aren’t going anywhere, which means executives of provider organizations must find a way to position themselves to work closely with managed care companies. How should they do this? By developing relationships with the payers and then supporting those relationships with metrics that allow provider to align services with both consumer and payer needs. In this session, we will discuss the fundamentals of developing outreach and engagement with payers, including the following “how to’s”:
- Starting strategic conversations with health plans
- Demonstrating your organization’s value in way that will capture health plan’s interest
- Securing and optimizing service agreements with health plans
