📈 Case Study Spotlight: Supporting Long-Term Practice Growth

What started as a single-provider pediatric practice in Minnesota has grown into a 25-provider, multi-specialty medical group with seven locations, telehealth services, and a broad range of care offerings — and PayrHealth has been there from the very beginning.

PayrHealth supported this organization with provider enrollment, credentialing, and ongoing maintenance, helping them scale efficiently while staying focused on patient care. Over nearly a decade, our team has successfully supported:

✅Enrollment of 25 providers
✅7 location additions
✅Maintenance of CAQH profiles
✅400+ applications and 330+ re-attestations

As a result, new providers are enrolled and receiving payments nearly 20 days faster than the national average, helping the practice grow without unnecessary delays.

We’re proud to partner with practices long-term and support sustainable growth every step of the way.

💼 What Services Do Medical Billing Companies Really Provide?

Medical billing is complex—and constantly evolving. Between claim submissions, denials, credentialing, patient collections, and reporting, many healthcare providers find it challenging to manage everything in-house while still focusing on patient care.

In our latest blog, we break down what a medical billing company should actually handle—and how outsourcing revenue cycle management can help practices:

✔ Improve claim acceptance rates
✔ Reduce denials and revenue leakage
✔ Strengthen compliance and operational efficiency
✔ Free up internal teams to focus on patients

At PayrHealth, we provide end-to-end revenue cycle management solutions, including specialized expertise in behavioral and mental health billing, credentialing, utilization review, and transparent reporting—so providers can focus on delivering exceptional care while we manage the rest.

📈 Case Study Spotlight: Regional Ophthalmology Practice

PayrHealth partnered with a multi-location ophthalmology group to modernize their payor contracts and expand coverage that hadn’t been updated in years. Through a strategic contracting and coverage expansion approach, we helped the practice drive stronger reimbursement and broader access for patients.

Key outcomes included:

✔️ 10.8% weighted average rate increase across multiple major payors
✔️ $628K+ in annualized revenue increases
✔️ Expanded coverage for high-value ophthalmologic procedures
✔️ Increased access for previously excluded services, improving patient reach and care continuity

Using data-driven negotiations and evidence-based positioning, PayrHealth helped this practice strengthen its payor relationships and financial performance — without sacrificing patient access or care quality.

Leadership POV: The Shift to Value-Based Care Is a Contracting Conversation

As healthcare continues its shift toward value-based care, revenue strategy must evolve alongside it. Today, strong performance isn’t defined by clinical quality alone — it’s also shaped by how organizations contract, negotiate, and align with payors on value-based care language.

From Medicare Advantage growth to ACO participation and risk-based arrangements, provider success increasingly depends on value- based contracts that support outcomes, sustainability, and long-term growth. Ensure that the value-based language presented is transparent and supportive of your future financial and operational model is critical.

“Value-based care requires a different mindset. It’s not just about delivering great care — it’s about ensuring your payor contracts are structured to support outcomes, performance, and financial stability over time.”

— Laura Cabe, VP of Revenue

🚫➡️📄 When “No” Is Just the Beginning

If you’ve ever pursued a payor contract, you know the frustration of doing everything right—only to receive a flat “no.” But in many cases, that denial isn’t the end of the conversation. It’s the start of the negotiation.

In his latest blog, Scott Dewey, Chief Managed Care Officer at PayrHealth, breaks down why initial payor denials are often a test of persistence—and how providers can turn rejection into opportunity.

🔑 Inside the post, Scott outlines:

• How to lead with data that reframes your value
• When and how to escalate effectively to true decision-makers
• Why firm, patient persistence is often what separates stalled negotiations from successful contracts

At PayrHealth, we see “no” as an opening move—not the final answer.
