Alocin Associates was created to provide expertise to the payer and provider community that helps to bridge the communication gap between them. This gap has resulted in miscommunication and administrative waste, taking away scarce resources that could otherwise be channeled into direct patient care and improved patient outcomes. We help hospitals and physician groups to: -Negotiate fee for service and value-based contracts with payers. -Utilize metrics, data and analytics to challenge payers' burdensome administrative requirements. -Advise on structure and make up of physician organization (PHO, CIN, IPA, etc.) in the era of Value Based Contracting. -Advise and support providers during and after an M&A event, streamlining contracts and minimizing cash flow interruptions. -Establish episodes of care for specialty services to be used as a basis for Value-Based Contracting with payers or ACO's.
