Case Study: Strategic negotiations

The Challenge

Commercial – Analytics-Based

A large carrier offering plans with an aggressive Medicare-based benefit limit sought:

• To satisfy clients seeking greater protections from balance billing for their plan members
• To preserve the underlying cost benefits of the out-of-network reimbursement methodology

The Solution

Claritev established negotiation parameters that deliver value to satisfy both payors and providers:

• An upper limit strategically set above the benefit limit, reflecting the value of the agreement to the plan member
• Use of the benefit limit as a floor, to quantify the benefits of agreement for the provider’s practice

The Results

Claritev delivers negotiated agreements with greater transparency and value for all parties:

• A 15 point increase in savings rate
• A less than two point reduction in success rate
