As managed care health insurance programs penetrate the healthcare market, hospital administrators, management staff and others responsible for directing or managing hospitals, clinics, laboratories, allied health services and physician practices need to understand the dynamics of managed care. Hammering out a good contract requires that healthcare providers be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of contracts. At the same time, they must also be able to position their organizations in order to attract and maintain managed care contracts that will bring in more patients and generate new business. The Managed Care Contracting Handbook takes the mystery out of the negotiating process by offering readers tried and true techniques, short cuts and necessary negotiating tools. The book begins with an in-depth discussion of managed care concepts and managed care organizations, including a chapter on reimbursement methods, and also discusses Tricare and quality issues associated with managed care. Once familiar with basic managed care concepts, The Managed Care Contracting Handbook offers readers important advice on proposal development, strategic planning, negotiation techniques and strategies and contract law. To help healthcare providers evaluate current agreements effectively, the book also includes an in-depth discussion and analysis of model of a typical managed care agreement.

Medical Tourism Facilitator's Handbook

Today, with physician and hospital reimbursement being cut and tied to quality incentives, physicians and health plans are revisiting the concept of integration. Payers are demanding that the industry do more with less without sacrificing quality of care. As a result, physicians again find themselves integrating and aligning with hospitals that have the resources they lack or must develop together. Written by an acknowledged expert in the field of physician integration and managed care contracting, Physician Integration &amp; Alignment: IPA, PHO, ACOs, and Beyond examines physician integration and alignment in the current healthcare market. It outlines the common characteristics of integrated groups and various organizational structures, and also explains how you can avoid making the same mistakes of the past. Filled with suggestions and ideas from successfully integrated practices, the book: <ul>
<li>Identifies industry drivers for the resurgence of integrated models and the need for aligned models</li> <li>Provides a look at the common characteristics of integrated and aligned groups and how the components can work together</li> <li>Discusses antitrust and other regulatory concerns present when considering the right organizational and management structure</li> <li>Offers time- and money-saving checklists, lessons learned, models, and templates―saving you thousands of dollars in consulting fees</li> </ul> Maria K. Todd provides readers with the vision and practical tools needed to organize their business entities in a manner that will maximize economic clout and provide quality of care for both the hospital and physician group. This much-needed resource includes helpful insights on topics such as declining physician reimbursement, declining margins, physician shortages, physician-hospital competition, rising practice investment requirements, the return to capitation as a payment mechanism, and recent changes in the relationships between physicians and health systems.
