Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but I'll ask.
What type of formula or what are you using to base your fee schedules on when negotiating the payer contracts. Some payers allow you to negotiate for a higher rate (not Highmark!) so we are trying to figure out some kind of base to work from; ie. what is the lowest you will go for allowable rate. Someone suggested using the PI/WC ratio to Medicare. Just trying to get some other input.
Thanks!
