But you blame the contract as to why commercial pays less, when it’s because that’s what someone accepted. They’re obviously going for a low number and it’s your sides job to negotiate for yourself. I just made another comment about lazy managed care, then you prove my point here.
While you didn’t ask for a definition, you should try and connect the dots.
The contract pegs reimbursement to Medicare rates. That's not laziness that's literally how most commercial payer contracts work. "You should have negotiated harder" isn't the own you think it is when the outcome of good negotiation is still a Medicare-indexed rate.
