6 questions to ask when 'hunting' for reimbursement.

Full Abstract

There are six questions negotiators for medical group practices should ask in trying to secure the right level of payer reimbursement: Which CPT codes characterize the practice? What codes are most valuable to the practice? What fees are acceptable to the practice? Which payers are paying acceptable fees? How can payer schedules be made more acceptable? What is the financial return from fee negotiations?
