Payer Contracting

Know what you should be paid, then ask for it

We compare your payer contracts and actual payments with Medicare and market benchmarks, find underpayments, and prepare the rate request. You keep the payer relationship and the final decision.

Contract review, benchmarks and negotiation preparation
Most practices sign contracts once and never look again. Rates, terms and renewal dates quietly cost money.

Contract Review

We read each contract for rate schedules, timely filing and appeal windows, payment deadlines, escalators and termination terms.

Rate Benchmarking

We compare your rates for your highest-volume codes with Medicare and with what other payers pay you, and flag the outliers.

Underpayment Analysis

We compare what each payer paid with what the contract says it should pay, and list the claims that were short-paid.

Negotiation Preparation

We build the ask: the rate request, the supporting data and the case for it, written so you can send it or present it.

Negotiation Support

We prepare talking points, draft letters and review counteroffers with you. Rate outcomes depend on your market and your payer, and we do not promise a specific increase.

Renewal Calendar

We track notice dates and renewal windows so a contract never auto-renews at an old rate because a date was missed.
