Introduction & Purpose
Hello,
This web log is intended for health care providers, and practitioners. Health insurers and managed care companies are free to participate as well. We will address issues that arise in the relationship between providers and practitioners (“Providers”) on one hand and insurers and managed care companies (“Payors”) on the other.
Although I understand first hand how the relationship between Providers and Payors can be frustrating, this site is intended for constructive and useful discussions about issues, solutions and best practices. So please try to refrain from “bashing”. Also, I reserve the right to review and reject any proposed comment.
Thank you and I look forward to your participation!
