OVERVIEW |
 |
 |
| Hospitals and managed care
organizations (MCOs) are taking a more collaborative approach to ensure
that their negotiated terms produce the financial results that they
expect. In the recent past, hospital and MCO agreements have included
significant changes in payment methodologies as the parties move toward
episode based reimbursement terms. In order to successfully negotiate a
new agreement, both parties must understand the impact of the proposed
financial terms. This typically involves applying the proposed contract
payment methodology and terms to historic claims data and comparing the
projected payments to the current reimbursement. While the concept is
simple in nature, in practice the complexities of hospital billing
result in significant differences between data sets used by the health
plan and the hospital.
Failure to appreciate the intricacies
and subtle differences between the data sets can result in unintentional
but material misrepresentations of the financial impacts of a proposed
agreement. When these problems are uncovered, they complicate
negotiations by inserting a measure of mistrust. Recognizing these risks
and planning for appropriate data reconciliation thus becomes an
important part of negotiating agreements between MCOs and hospitals. |
