Share your thoughts on Payer-Provider Collaboration
We're preparing the next issue of the Managed Care Forum Quarterly Insights, and we'd like to include your words.
Following is one question related to managed care. If the question stirs any response just send it along to HFMA Forums staff at hfmaforums@hfma.org. We'll publish as many responses as we can in the next Managed Care Forum Quarterly Insights.
Often, the key to a successful relationship between payers and providers goes beyond the contracted terms to the daily interactions and collaboration around issues facing both parties in healthcare today. Members of the Managed Care Forum want to know the thoughts of the community on this question:
What have you observed in the managed care market that would indicate any increase in collaborative efforts between payers and providers?
Again, send your response, including your name and affiliation as you'd like each to appear, to HFMA Forums staff at hfmaforums@hfma.org
Please respond no later than May 18, 2006. Thank you!
