Managed Care and Insurance

Health care costs and reimbursement rates are inversely related.
We strictly stand behind healthcare providers though our industry’s evolution.

With costs of care rising and reimbursement rates falling, providers are challenged more than ever.

This strain can impact their relationship with all types of third-party payors, especially those in the commercial managed care area. Our attorneys provide key technical advice to health care providers and managed care organizations with operational and regulatory issues. We represent health care systems in their efforts to integrate both financially and clinically in their markets.

Managed care has undergone significant changes over the past three decades. Many of the changes in health law parallel the evolution of managed care. We provide complete legal support for providers in these intertwined and ever more complex areas.

Herrin Health Law, P.C. does not and will not represent commercial health insurance payors.
