Ep. 63 - Healthcare News Roundup

This week on the FLATLINING Podcast from Fulcrum Strategies, Matthew and Ron break down several healthcare news items that are relevant to the business administration of provider practices.  They take a look at these stories:

• Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan claim they have cut prior-authorizations by 20% - Becker's Payer Issues
• Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant plan enrollment reaches record high - Kaiser Family Foundation
• Prisma Health and UHC get into a nasty contract negotiation - Becker's Payer Issues

Matthew and Ron discuss whether or not the prior authorization cuts will help patients and their physicians.  They also talk about ACA Marketplace plan reimbursement and how the record enrollments will affect provider revenue.  And they share some tips on what to do in nasty negotiations.
