Reimbursement
The process of securing reimbursements from third-parties for services provided to patients is an increasingly complex and difficult component of practicing medicine. MSV members routinely covey their dissatisfaction regarding the business practices of managed care plans, from contract renewal offerings with slashed reimbursement rates to tactics aimed at avoiding or delaying payments. Physician practices must navigate through these business-related obstacles in order to focus on their primary duty of providing care to their patients.
