Professional Negotiating Services

Healthcare today is nothing but a cluster of interlocking contracts. All healthcare providers benefit from having a skilled and experienced negotiator at the table. Using a negotiator not only gets you better results but allows you to maintain your personal and professional relationships. Healthcare negotiations should never be a do-it-yourself project. ACMSI’s experience, combined with a studied knowledge of the unique psychological make-up of physicians, hospital executives and health plan negotiators, means greater success at the bargaining table. For physician employment and integration arrangements, call-contracts, third-party payors, ACOs, medical directorships, purchase or sale of practice and all other types of contracts, the investment in a professional negotiator will more than pay off.

ACOs, Gainsharing, and Innovative Solutions

The national mandate is to reduce health care costs. In response to government initiatives and market pressures, providers are looking for innovative ways to re-imagine and redesign health care delivery and payments to incentivize innovation. ACMSI’s consultants have over 40 years’ leadership in health policy and health care delivery pragmatics and bring both experience and creativity to their clients’ reorganizational and contracting needs. They have worked with ACO’s, continuum-of-care organizations (COCO’s), MSO’s, gainsharing contracts, and other cutting-edge solutions. With reimbursements going down, providers have no choice but to “think out of the box” if they are to survive and thrive in the coming health care crisis.
