How do I negotiate fees with my PPO?

Answer

A doctor may negotiate fees directly with a PPO by contacting the provider relations department or a provider may hire a third-party to perform their fee negotiation. Please note that not all insurance companies will allow fee negotiation using a third-party. Rather than ask the PPO to increase all of your fees at the same time, you may have a better chance of success by choosing the top 10 to 20 procedures performed in your practice. Then, negotiate a fee increase for just those procedures.
