/ Contracting & Negotiation
More networks, more patients.
Payer contracts determine what you earn on every single visit. We review, benchmark, and negotiate them so your rates catch up to the value you provide.
Contracts reviewed, negotiated, and managed.
Every payer contract, benchmarked against the market and actively managed, so you’re never leaving reimbursement on the table without knowing it.
Contract analysis
Line-by-line review of existing payer contracts to identify underpayment, unfavorable terms, and renegotiation opportunities.
Rate benchmarking
Your rates compared against market data so you negotiate from an informed position, not a guess.
Negotiation strategy
A clear strategy before any negotiation: what to ask for, what to expect, and where there’s room to push.
Active negotiation
We lead or support the negotiation directly, managing payer communications, counter-offers, and timeline.
Contract execution support
Final contract review before signing and coordination with your billing team to update fee schedules.
Renewal monitoring
We monitor contract terms and identify opportunities for negotiation.
Your rate is a fee schedule tier, not a fixed number.
Most payers don’t hand new practices the top of their fee schedule on day one. Contracts often start at a lower tier and step up as you prove consistent volume and quality, a climb that can seem endless if nobody is actively managing it.
AAG makes that climb transparent. We track where you sit on each payer’s fee schedule, flag when you’ve hit the volume thresholds to renegotiate, and walk the process alongside you until you’re earning what you’re worth.
AAG approaches contracting analytically, benchmarking your rates, identifying the strongest leverage points, and leading or supporting negotiations with a clear strategy. We’ve seen what payers will move on and what they won’t.
Do you know what you could be earning? That’s the average increase practices realize once we benchmark and renegotiate contracts stuck below market rate.
From analysis to executed contract.
Review
We analyze your current contracts and benchmark rates against market data to find the gaps.
Strategize
A negotiation strategy built on your data: what to ask for, what the payer will likely accept, and where leverage exists.
Negotiate
We lead or support the negotiation directly, managing payer communications until terms are agreed.
Execute
Contract finalized, fee schedules updated in your billing system, and renewal timeline set.
Contracts aren’t set-and-forget; this cycle repeats every renewal period to keep rates current.
