Negotiating Your Payor Contracts with StrataJazz

March 29, 2018

Like Mission Health, many hospitals and health systems across the country are impacted by diminishing reimbursement rates on an annual basis. Meanwhile operating expenses, such as pharmaceuticals and supplies, continue to rise. For several years, Mission Health has launched numerous cost savings initiatives that cut costs and sustain margins without compromising quality and safety of their patients. Monitoring and reporting the results can be time consuming. All the while other projects loom, including contract renewals. Mission needed an effective and efficient solution for modeling changes in reimbursement.
