$400,000 in PPO Optimization
PPO negotiations are tricky business. With all the third-party leasing that takes place, it is essential to be thorough with every contract and every possibility. There are infinite combinations and possibilities that can either hurt or help a practice.
Often, we work with practices that assume they have a great fee schedule with one particular company, but fail to realize their claims are actually being paid by a third-party leaser at a fraction of what they could be. Remember, an insurance carrier will allow leasing and claims processing through the lowest paying leaser or third-party.
Our success story of the month is a single provider office in Arizona with 2 locations. In our advanced negotiation and re-structuring project, we negotiated 4 direct contracts that resulted in increases between 6% and 62% on average.
We also optimized fees with four additional companies through strategic structuring. By utilizing leverage and leasing possibilities, we were able to recommend changes that resulted in massive increases up to 53%!
Because of our thorough strategy, we increased this doctor’s revenue by a conservative estimate of $28,400/year through their 4 direct contracts and identified an additional $367,400/year through advanced re-structuring options. During the first year after our services, this practice has the potential of making close to $400,000 more with these negotiable companies than they did in 2016. That’s a 65x return on their investment!
