Securing Fair Reimbursement and Driving $1M in ROI

About the Client

This provider has been delivering high-quality applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for nearly two decades, helping children and young adults with autism and developmental disorders reach their full potential. With nearly 30 locations across more than 10 states, they offer individualized, evidence-based care for patients from infancy through early adulthood.

The Challenge

Despite a strong clinical reputation and wide-ranging service model, the organization faced serious challenges in its payor contracts, including:

  • Reimbursement rates that didn’t reflect the full value or complexity of services delivered
  • Inappropriate rate benchmarking by payors, comparing their services to narrower, less comprehensive ABA programs
  • Repeated denials from payors when requesting improved terms

They needed a strategic partner to help them secure contracts that aligned with the scope and impact of their care.

PayrHealth’s Solution

The organization engaged PayrHealth to lead a targeted renegotiation strategy using market insights, proven advocacy, and long-standing payor relationships.

Key Tactics Included:

  • Strategic Renegotiation: Worked with three large payors, including plans with both commercial and Medicaid lines of business
  • Tailored Advocacy: Highlighted the client's unique ability to serve patients ages 0–25, a broader range than many competitors
  • Data-Driven Benchmarking: Leveraged robust market data to define and support fair reimbursement targets

Results

  • Successfully renegotiated contracts with three major national payors
  • Secured higher rates across multiple business lines
  • Achieved a $1M ROI from a single renegotiated agreement

After years of stalled internal negotiations, this partnership with PayrHealth led to meaningful financial improvements and expanded access to care.
