Keeping control of pricing data
With the growth of transparency initiatives, health plans have a powerful incentive to publicize individual providers' prices. But most providers wouldn't want them to publish pricing data unexpectedly. If pricing data goes public without providers knowing, it could leave them unprepared for questions that patients might pose, or make them look bad by presenting figures out of context, notes an article on HealthLeadersMedia.com. Today, it's important to go over managed care contracts and make sure that the plan hasn't included any unobtrusive price disclosure clauses in the agreement, authors note. If providers do agree to let their prices be published, they may want to request the right to review the data before it's published, look over comments the plan expects to publish along with the data or even write their own commentaries for inclusion with the listed prices, the writers recommend.
