Client Need

This client recently began acquiring new entities in the Arizona, Texas, and West Virginia markets. They approached PayrHealth with the goal of completing a change of ownership for their newly acquired entities. Their goals were to complete the change of ownership and increase their rates in less than one year of engaging PayrHealth.

This client expressed several pain points before engaging PayrHealth, such as staff bandwidth and rapid growth projections due to their large acquisitions. This client sought out a team who could assist quickly and help to avoid disruption in patient care.

PayrHealth's Solution

An overall 14.5% increase in average rate increase across all three states.

PayrHealth provided contracting, consulting, analytics, and credentialing support to aid in this client’s acquisition efforts. PayrHealth accessed and analyzed all existing agreements, modeling their existing rates against market data. PayrHealth then updated each agreement (negotiating increased rates where possible) with their new Tax IDs and NPIs. This process was completed in just nine months, well below the client’s goal of 12 months – and without disruptions to patient access or care.
