The last few months have provided a whirlwind of activity around the ACA. Even though the ACA replacement bill failed to go to vote in the House, discussions & debates continue.

Lower Healthcare Costs up to 30% with Reference-based Pricing

Historically we’ve asked providers how much they need to perform a service, procedure or treat a medical condition, then we would negotiate a lower rate by promising more patients.

Understand the current billing system, negotiated discounts and allowed charges
Learn reference (or “metric-based”) pricing by calculating costs from a measurable price, rather than starting with a fictitious cost of service pricing system
Appreciate pitfalls and challenges in referenced-based pricing
Hear how conversations about fair pay to providers is taking place at every level, from government to individual providers
