Negotiating With Payers Preparation Is The Key

June 1, 2022 by David Chandler

Payer Relations

POINTS TO REMEMBER

  • HME suppliers are not required
    to take a contract “as is” from a
    commercial payer.
  • Understanding how your payers set
    their rates is critical to assessing
    your opportunities to improve
    reimbursements.
  • Defining your company’s value
    proposition and showing how rising
    product and operational costs are
    essential.
  • Establishing credibility with payers
    take a persistent, long-term
    approach.
