Physicians will learn:
-
What contractual components enable the highest reimbursement for the healthcare entity and physicians?
-
How the Relative Value Units (RVUs) calculation is used to measure and maximize value, and why it’s important to understand Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) related to claim denials and quantify their overall value.
-
How ancillary services and referrals contribute to overall value, and applying this value in the negotiation process between physician and healthcare entity.
-
What to look for when partnering with a healthcare entity. For example, are there systems in place to correctly and easily track RVUs? Are EOBs accessible for physician review? Are the reimbursements transparent and available for the physician to review and provide feedback?
-
Is the healthcare entity doing their best to provide the appropriate insurance for physicians to practice, the latest technology and sound protocols, innovation for growth, etc…?
-
Indicators of a beneficial partnership for both the physicians and the healthcare entity.
-
What are some of the important points to consider and include with regard to an “exit” strategy for the physician and healthcare entity?
