Session 40 | Collaborate Together for Value-Based Reimbursement and Better Quality Outcomes: Introducing Florida Health Care Quality Partners Provider-Owned Network

Day: Wednesday, July 26
Time: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Type/Topic: Finance and Reimbursement

Session Summary

With the increase in market penetration of Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Managed Care, even the savviest providers are being challenged. Provider-owned networks are helping providers improve clinical outcomes and access value-based reimbursement, which has eluded long term care and post-acute care providers without the volume to do so. Under Florida Health Care Association's leadership, provider members have created the Florida Health Care Quality Partners, a provider-owned network to negotiate collectively with managed care payers. This session will help you learn more about participation in provider-owned networks as a nation wide strategy to improve providers' position negotiating with managed care, and specifically on joining FHCQP, Florida Health Care Association's provider-owned network.
