The largest payers are 10x the size of the largest health systems.

The negotiating imbalance continues to grow in favor of the payers. One 2023 analysis found the market-leading insurer in the least competitive insurance markets pays 15 percent less to hospitals than the market-leading insurer in the most competitive markets, for example. Negotiated rates are just one part of the problem hospitals face amid growing payer power, along with denials and reimbursement policies that make a growing portion of payment slow, costly and inconsistent. At the same time, payers are finding the world more difficult in terms of profitability than they were. The most advantageous payers are a mix of payers and providers.

Well, over 1000 hospitals have turned to the underpayment recovery platform with no upfront fees.

The minimum considered is $2M from a hospital's or medical center's top three insurers. A simple call will get the process started on accounts that have been basically written off!!

Maine health system laying off 31 employees.

 

Lewiston, Maine-based St. Mary's Health System, a member of Knoxville, Tenn.-based Covenant Health, is laying off 31 employees and reducing working hours for additional employees.

In an effort to address financial challenges and ensure long-term sustainability, the health system, which includes a 233-bed acute care community hospital, will also end 2023 with a negative operating margin. The pandemic, low patient numbers and revenue, rising supply and labor costs were also listed as reasons for the layoffs.

The underpayment recovery platform was designed to help hospitals & other medical facilities recoup millions from underpayments by insurers.

They only engage remittance files that clients expect no further revenues. Therefore, their services compliment all other RCM efforts and provides new revenues…100% of the time.
