Moving away from managed care contracts can be fraught with nightmares of ruined credit. No one wants to be classifed as a deadbeat and go to court. What say you, Bill OReilly?
Try selling a Cost Plus Insurance plan to an HR director! You will get nowhere fast. The threat of balance billing works almost every time, scaring and immobilizing plan sponsors into submission. It is a potent and effective weapon providers and their PPO partners use with great effectiveness. Afterall, the only thing that matters to most HR directors is that managed care contracts deliver the promise of no balance billing. To these mental giants, costs are secondary to employee demands driven by OPM (other people’s money) syndrome.
There are strategies to be employed to protect consumers from balance billing issues. Some are rather aggressive (and costly to administer), while others are less aggressive, fair and balanced, but equally effective (and less costly to administer).
We know of three TPA’s who have successfully combated the balance billing dilemma utilizing a less aggressive approach than others in the industry, at far less administrative costs to their clients. We note two below:
