Billing performance continues to be one of the top management issues affecting contractual relationships in the healthcare industry. In addition to contracts between providers and their outside billing agents, billing performance is also important in management services agreements between integrated health systems and their contracted OR owned partners, such as physician practices, outpatient diagnostic centers, ancillary or therapy providers, and home care or subacute entities.
