Senior Associates and the Principal of Healthscape's Hospital Advocacy Group have the dual advantage of long pedigrees in managed care -- including tenure on the payor side -- and routine exposure to payor practices in multiple markets. Negotiating skills are a prerequisite, but in today's managed care landscape, practices, conventions, and innovations in the payors’ philosophies and methodologies are changing daily and reimbursements are effected. It takes more than a good negotiator; it takes a senior officer who knows what drives the payors’ actions, and what they are up to in order to preserve hospital revenues.
