Turnkey Solutions to Network Development Needs

Managed Care Organization (MCO) network development teams continue to struggle with the need to fulfill immediate provider contracting initiatives. Time sensitive deadlines, limited network development staff, and restricted budgets are typically associated with such initiatives. Complimented with the need for day-to-day network maintenance and provider relation activities, MCO’s often fail to reach the project’s original goals and objectives.


“Network Outsourcing” is the backbone of CHC’s consulting services. Quality relationships, the ability to effectively communicate with the provider community, and a strong understanding of reimbursement methodologies, allow CHC to provide a turnkey solution to immediate provider contracting needs. CHC operates under the Client’s contracting policy and procedures and allow the Client to maintain authority on all contracting assignments. Once the network is established to the Client’s specifications, CHC simply transitions all documents, data, negotiating history, provider contact information, and contracting experience to the network development and provider relation teams.
