Introduction to Managed Care

Managed care coordinates health services by linking medical care with the organizations and payers that provide covered benefits, and the contracts behind it directly affect a hospital's revenue and stability. This course introduces the core principles of managed care across four lessons, including plan types, how they connect to the revenue cycle, and why managed care contracts matter. Learn how to follow the contract process step by step, researching, preparing, and implementing new agreements, and manage internal issues that affect hospitals, including rural facilities. Designed for staff new to the business office or registration, as well as anyone wanting a refresher, this course prepares you to strengthen operations and stay compliant with contract requirements.
