RETAINER
The industry runs on 28-month timelines. We don't.
Our model works because we maintain active relationships with the medical directors and network contracting teams at 47 plans. When we bring an engagement to the table, we're not cold-calling — we're continuing a conversation.
A four-phase engagement model built for decisive movement, not endless analysis.

Two-week sprint to map your payer surface area, clinical model, existing contracts, and the specific gaps between where you are and where you need to be.
Position
We build the narrative, the data pack, and the rate model that will land with contracting teams — calibrated to each payer's current priorities.
Execute
Warm introductions, negotiation, red-lining, and close. You see every email and every term sheet; we do the heavy lifting.
Sustain
Ongoing rate optimization, amendment negotiation, and performance reporting — so contracts improve over time rather than decaying.
