About Managed Care Partners

Your Outsourced Managed Care Department

Managed Care Partners provides comprehensive managed care support for Rural Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics.

For more than 30 years, we have worked alongside hospital leadership to manage payer contracts and relationships throughout their lifecycle—from strategy and negotiation to reimbursement, analytics and ongoing payer management.

We aren’t simply brought in for a negotiation. We serve as an extension of your organization, providing the specialized managed care expertise and execution that can be difficult for rural hospitals to maintain internally.

Our focus has remained consistent:
help rural healthcare organizations strengthen the financial foundation that supports their ability to serve their patients and communities.

Focused on Rural Healthcare Since 1994

Rural Healthcare Isn’t
One Part of Our Business.
It’s Our Focus.

Managed Care Partners was founded in 1994 to provide hospitals with specialized managed care expertise.

Over the past three decades, healthcare reimbursement and payer relationships have become increasingly complex. Rural hospitals face these challenges while often operating with fewer internal resources than larger health systems.

Managed Care Partners was built to help fill that gap.

Today, we work with rural hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics to provide the managed care resources, expertise and ongoing support needed to navigate payer relationships and make informed contracting decisions.

More Than a
Traditional Consulting Relationship

We Become an Extension of Your Team.

More Than a Traditional Consulting Relationship

You Lead. We Support.

Our role isn’t to make decisions for hospital leadership.

Our role is to give leadership the expertise, information and execution needed to make those decisions more effectively.

We work alongside hospital administration, finance and revenue cycle teams, bringing specialized experience in payer contracting, reimbursement, analytics and payer relationships.

Your hospital establishes its strategy, financial priorities and organizational goals.

We help turn that direction into action.

That means evaluating existing agreements, identifying opportunities, preparing for negotiations, analyzing reimbursement, managing payer issues and maintaining continuity throughout the payer contract lifecycle.

Managed Care Expertise Built Around Rural Healthcare

Rural Healthcare Specialization

Our experience is centered on rural healthcare, including the unique challenges facing Rural Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics.

An Extension of Hospital Leadership

We don’t replace your leadership team or take control of your strategy. We provide specialized managed care expertise and execution while your hospital maintains control of its decisions.

Flat-Fee Partnership

Our flat professional fee gives hospitals predictable costs and ongoing access to managed care expertise without unexpected per project based billing.

Continuous Managed Care

Our involvement doesn’t end when an agreement is signed. We provide support throughout evaluation, negotiation, implementation, reimbursement performance, payer management and future renewals.
