I enjoy working with our clients to hone a solid financial strategy for each managed care negotiation and to help build the personal relationships between the parties that will last over the lifetime of the agreement. I believe there is a personal touch required in negotiating managed care contracts, and the relationships I have established with clients and payors over the years is what keeps my own process moving forward.
