Managed Care Contract Support
Revenue management is more complex requiring a balanced approach in managing current revenue streams for services provided balanced with emerging reimbursement systems that are clinically integrated in support of the health of a population. These complexities require greater discipline in managed care contracting aligned with strategic positioning for accountable care. Managed care contracting is more than negotiation of annual rate increases. It is living in two worlds of revenue management—fee for revenue and value based—that requires greater use of data transformed into information understanding financial, quality and operational impact of health services provided.

- Payment for services
- Payment for quality
- Payment for health of a population
