PPS offers both hospitals and physicians expert contract negotiation services that are guaranteed to increase revenue for your organization.  This renegotiation process requires significant time on the part of our contracting specialists and usually takes around 120-150 days to complete the process.  The process may be long but the reward for your practice can be very great.  In most cases, we achieve a net increase from most insurers of around 10-12% but it depends on many factors and can be less or more depending on your situation.  Oftentimes, the agreed upon increase will be split up over two years which is the case when you have not renegotiated your contracts in over two years.  There will also be cases where the insurance company allows you to participate in a certain HMO and give you less of an increase on your contracts.  There are a lot of strategies utilized by the insurance companies to save money and make your life hell, but it is our job to decipher through those and give you the bottom line.
