To help physicians in private practice better navigate the challenges of payor contracting, the AMA has unveiled a suite of resources.
Doctors can learn more from subject-matter experts in the AMA’s free, two-hour webinar series that guides private practice physicians through the complexities of the health-plan payment landscape. “Payor Contracting 101” and “Payor Contracting 201” cover basic contract provisions, basic legal rules governing contracts, commonly negotiated provisions, common disputes, and innovative and nontraditional opportunities.
The AMA also has developed a great new private practice toolkit on payor contracting that covers these elements:
- Payor Contracting 101 (PDF).
- Payor Contract Review Checklist (PDF).
- Payor Contract–Sample Contract Language (PDF).
- Examples of Significant Payor Unilateral Policy Changes (PDF).
The webinar series is taught by experts from the Chicago, Los Angeles and Denver offices of the Polsinelli law firm, and speakers included attorneys Jonathan Buck, Garrett Jackson and Ryan Morgan. Read more.
