Challenges We Solve

Behavioral health reimbursement rates are historically low — often below Medicare. Payers know most providers don't have time to negotiate. Here's how we change that.

You're Getting Paid Less Than You Should

Commercial payers routinely offer behavioral health providers rates below the market. Without market data and negotiating leverage, most practices accept what they're given — leaving significant revenue on the table year after year.

How Prosperity Solves This

We analyze your current contracts against market benchmarks, identify where you’re underpaid, and negotiate for rates that reflect the true value of your services. We know what payers are paying other providers in your market.

Contract Terms Create Billing and Payment Problems

Bad contract language causes downstream headaches — prior authorization requirements that delay care, recoupment clauses that claw back revenue, timely filing limits that catch you off guard. Most providers don't catch these issues until they're already losing money.

How Prosperity Solves This

We review contract terms beyond just rates, identifying provisions that create operational friction or financial risk. We negotiate cleaner terms that protect your revenue and reduce administrative burden.

You Don't Have Time to Manage Payer Relationships

Contract renewals, rate renegotiations, fee schedule updates — payer management is a full-time job. Without dedicated attention, contracts auto-renew at the same rates while your costs keep rising.

How Prosperity Solves This

We track contract timelines, initiate renegotiations proactively, and manage the back-and-forth with payers so you capture rate increases without pulling your team away from patient care.

FAQs

How do you know if my rates are below market?

We benchmark your current rates against market data, including what payers are paying similar providers in your region. This analysis shows where you have room to negotiate.

Can you help with existing contracts or only new ones?

Both. We review and renegotiate existing contracts as they come up for renewal, and we negotiate initial terms when you're joining a new payer network.

What if a payer won’t negotiate?

Some payers are more flexible than others, but most will negotiate when presented with solid data and a clear case. We know which levers to pull and how to escalate when needed.

How long does contract negotiation take?

It depends on the payer and contract complexity, but most negotiations take 3-6 months. We recommend starting well before renewal dates to allow adequate time.

Do you handle Medicaid and Medicare contracting?

Yes. We work with commercial payers, Medicaid managed care organizations, and Medicare to optimize your contracts across all payer types. Contact us to discuss your contracting needs, or get a free payer mix benchmark analysis.
