Alliance Member Spotlight
In this month’s newsletter, Eric Bailly, Senior Director with Third Horizon Strategies and leader of the Alliance for Addiction Payment Reform, connected with Cheryl Matochik, Third Horizon Strategies Managing Director for Market Analytics, to learn more about the power of transparency in coverage data available through the commercial health plan machine-readable files. Specifically, the conversation focused on how providers can proactively leverage the transparency in coverage rate data currently available to negotiate alternative payment arrangements with commercial health plans in various markets.
