Hi List members,
Be wary of MCOs or insurance companies trying to work us against
each other above and beyond what's fair. I know of one case where a
competitor of mine was told that my company and a national competitor
were offering prosthetic services for a patient at well below Medicaid
fees, which was totally untrue.
I can't talk specifics, but it's clear that while we are expected to be
ethical in our dealings, what's to prevent insurance companies from
using such tactics to grind us down on our fees?
